    Nine faces, hand-painted in Telangana in the Nakashi tradition - wood built up with sawdust and tamarind-seed paste, then painted by hand, bold enough to read across a courtyard, fine enough to reward standing close.

    Hung together as the Celestial Nine, they hold a wall the way Cheriyal's repertoire once held an audience. Hung apart, each still carries its own weight.

    Available individually, or as the complete set of nine.

    Hang them together. Let them fill the wall. Let your guests stop mid-sentence and ask. That's the conversation we make room for.

    Available individually or as the complete set. Slight variation in paint and finish is inherent to the making.

    From the heart of Telangana comes Cherial art, a 400-year-old scroll painting tradition once used to narrate epics and folklore to village audiences. Painted on hand-treated khadi cloth with natural colors, these vibrant works are instantly recognizable — bold red backdrops, expressive figures, and intricate storytelling brought alive through brush and imagination.

    Every Cherial painting is handmade by skilled artisans, each stroke carrying forward a legacy passed down through generations. Traditionally, the art depicted tales from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and village lore, transforming simple scrolls into living storybooks.

    Today, Cherial art finds a new canvas in modern homes. Whether framed on a living room wall, styled as a centerpiece above consoles, or adding a pop of color to quiet corners, these paintings bring culture, warmth, and timeless storytelling into contemporary spaces.

    Owning a Cherial artwork is not just about décor — it is about inviting history, craftsmanship, and a piece of India’s living heritage into your home.
