About the Artwork +

The Cheriyal painting by Sai Kiran beautifully depicts Dashavatar, the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu, with a central focus on Lord Vishnu as Anantshayana, reclining on the cosmic serpent, Adishesha, in the ocean of milk. Beside him, Mata Lakshmi is depicted with grace and devotion, enhancing the divine and serene essence of the composition.

The entire composition is meticulously divided into square segments, each depicting one of Vishnu's avatars. Surrounding the central image, we see vibrant portrayals of Matsya (the fish), Kurma (the tortoise), Varaha (the boar), Narasimha (the man-lion), Vamana (the dwarf), Parashurama (the warrior with an axe), Rama (the prince of Ayodhya), Krishna (the divine cowherd), Buddha (the enlightened one), and Kalki (the future warrior). Each segment is a detailed and dynamic illustration, capturing the essence and attributes of the respective avatars.

Enclosing the entire composition is a square border of yellow, adorned with repetitive patterns in black and red, which adds a rhythmic and cohesive frame to the artwork. The dominant colors in the painting are red, yellow, and blue, which are used extensively to highlight the divine and mythological elements. Additional colors are skillfully incorporated to add intricate details and depth to the figures and background.

This Cheriyal painting captures the grandeur and significance of the Dashavatar, symbolizing the ten incarnations of Vishnu that collectively represent the divine intervention in various epochs to restore cosmic order. The meticulous detailing and rich palette in the painting reflect the skilled craftsmanship and cultural richness of Cheriyal art. By using traditional motifs and techniques, Sai Kiran not only preserves but also celebrates the mythological narratives and artistic heritage of the region. Overall, Sai Kiran’s Cheriyal painting of the Dashavatar is a vivid and intricate representation of divine mythology, brought to life through the traditional art form’s rich colors, detailed patterns, and structured composition.

Sai Kiran Dhanalakota blue-tick

Sai

 Sai Kiran, a 27-year-old artist, is credited with carrying on the history of the Dhanalakota family, the last practising family for Cheriyal Scroll painting. A 160-year-old Cheriyal scroll painted by his great-great grandpa is also on display in a museum in Paris, providing insight into his family's past. With the market for Cheriyal scrolls decreasing, his parents advised him to study rather than pursue painting, but Sai Kiran obtained a degree in fine arts to acquire new art techniques to modernise and make his work relevant in today's times. He wishes the Cheriyal scroll painters knew more about the stories they are painting, because the storytellers for these paintings are autonomous and add their own colour to the stories, but he makes an attempt to study these stories, and his personal favourite is Gaurapuranama's, about Toddy Tappers (Wine tappers). 'We replace our phones every year, our phone covers every two months, change is such a constant, therefore our work needs to stay up with it and adapt,' Sai Kiran says.



Cheriyal Scroll


Cheriyal scrolls, resembling a living narrative akin to cinematic reels or comic strips, intricately weave tales sourced from the tapestry of Indian mythology. Painted in vibrant, predominantly primary hues, with fiery red backgrounds dominating, these artworks exude the unrestricted creative spirit of local artisans, unfettered by the shackles of formal academia. Spanning over four centuries, the cherished tradition of Cheriyal scroll painting is intrinsically woven into the storytelling legacy of its region. These narratives find their roots in the familiarity of ancient literary, mythological, and folk traditions. Unlike scroll paintings in other parts of Asia, which adorned the courts and noble abodes, India's scrolls were the province of wandering bards and village artists, deeply embedded in the rural fabric of life. Though once a prominent artistic expression across Andhra and neighboring regions, each infused with its unique flavors and local customs, Cheriyal scrolls have sought refuge in Cheriyal town, Telangana. Here, they stand as the last bastion, as the waves of modernity, in the form of television, cinema, and computers, steadily encircle this captivating tradition.
