Kerala Mural Painting On Saree

This is the second Kerala Mural painting on saree. The first one I lost in an auto rickshaw. After that I started this saree. Kerala mural looks good on Kerala kasavu sarees, though these look good on other sarees too, but I like it more on Kerala sarees.Kerala mural sarees are often crafted from high-quality fabrics such as cotton or silk. The choice of fabric enhances the overall texture and feel of the saree, adding to its allure.

the beauty of Kerala mural sarees lies in the combination of traditional artistry, intricate designs, vibrant colors, cultural significance, handcrafted techniques, unique fabric choices, and a sense of cultural pride. These factors collectively make Kerala mural sarees highly attractive and cherished pieces of traditional Indian attire.

Here is the saree I painted:

Trditionals Kerala Mural motifs all over

This saree has all over Kerala mural traditional motifs paited. I have used two designs of the motifs. The colors play very important role in Kerala mural. The common colors used are yellow, orange, green , blue and black. Depending on requirement some use one or two more colors.The combination of these colors in Kerala mural sarees not only adds to their visual appeal but also conveys cultural, spiritual, and symbolic meanings. The careful selection and arrangement of colors play a crucial role in telling the stories depicted in the murals and contribute to the overall significance and beauty of these traditional garments.

Here is the pallu of the saree.

Noramlly in Kerala mural, God and Goddess designs are used. cenes from the life of Lord Krishna, known as Krishna Leela, are commonly portrayed in Kerala mural sarees. These scenes may include Krishna playing the flute, dancing with the gopis, or engaging in other playful activities.Traditional Indian patterns, such as paisley and intricate geometric shapes, are incorporated into Kerala mural saree designs. These patterns add a timeless and classic touch to the overall aesthetic.
