Surpur art, originating from the Surpur region in Karnataka, India, is a unique form of traditional painting that has evolved over centuries. The process of creating Surpur art involves meticulous attention to detail, intricate brushwork, and the use of vibrant colors derived from natural pigments. This art form typically depicts scenes from Hindu mythology, folklore, and daily life, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region.
