A Piece of Artwork
by
Prof. Bibhudutta Baral and Srikanth B.
NID, Bengaluru

A mural is a piece of art painted directly on a wall, ceiling, or other permanent surfaces, distinguished with its characteristic of maintaining the architectural grandeur of the given space harmoniously even when drawing over it. The history of Indian murals traces back to early medieval times, from the 2nd century BC to 8th – 10th century AD, with its sharp remains still found from almost 20 locations around the country, including the cave monuments of Ajanta, Bagh, Sittanavasal, Armamalai, Ravan Chhaya rock shelter and Kailasanatha temple from Ellora Caves. During the 11th and 12th centuries, this pattern of large-scale wall paintings saw a slow shift to miniature paintings, which were first introduced on palm-leaf manuscripts, later to be depicted on ivory, small stones, papers, canvas, etc. Mural arts create amazing artworks suitable for any environment. These products are regarded highly for their quality, finishing, and characteristics like weightlessness and durability. Mrs. Shweta Khapekar is working on mural painting handicrafts for over four to five years. She owns an art gallery named Shypra home decor at Nagpur.
