About The Heart of Tulunad: Cultural Murals

Every mural we paint starts with a hand-drawn sketch, ensuring the soul of the art is preserved. We use high-grade artist acrylics and exterior emulsions, applying a protective clear varnish coat on every project. This ensures that whether it is a public wall or a hotel lobby, these cultural depictions remain vibrant and weather-resistant against the coastal humidity of Mangalore.
