Authentic Kerala Mural Paintings
My Kerala mural collection brings the timeless beauty of traditional temple art into your home. Each piece is hand-painted using the classic earthy palette of deep reds, greens, and ochres.
This is my 14x16 inch painting of Sri Mahavishnu, the protector of the universe. I used the traditional five colors of Kerala murals to depict his calm and powerful form, seated on a lotus.
The goddess Saraswati, who represents knowledge and the arts, painted in a vibrant Kerala mural style. She is shown with her veena, seated on her divine swan against a bright yellow background.
A serene painting of Goddess Lakshmi, who brings wealth and fortune. I chose a unique green tone for her skin and placed a pink lotus in her hand to symbolize purity and kindness.
A beautiful bunch of lotus flowers, a common and beloved symbol in Kerala mural art. The bright pink blossoms stand out against the warm orange sky and cool blue water, creating a feeling of peace.
A peacock with its feathers on full display, painted in the detailed Kerala mural style. The repeating patterns and shades of blue and teal are meant to capture the bird's magnificent beauty and freedom.
About Kerala Mural Paintings
When I paint these murals, I stick to the traditional five-color palette of deep reds, vibrant greens, and golden ochres to keep the look authentic. You will notice that every piece, whether it is a small desk frame or a larger wall piece, comes ready to hang with a high-quality glass finish to protect those intricate, hand-painted details from dust and humidity.
My approach to Kerala murals is to honor the temple art tradition while making it accessible for modern homes. Because I work entirely by hand, no two paintings are exactly the same. I use heavy-weight cartridge paper or high-quality canvas, ensuring that the finish lasts for years. I focus heavily on the fine linework that defines this style, often spending days just perfecting the expressions of the deities, from the calm gaze of Vishnu to the playful energy of Saraswati.
Whether you are looking for a compact 8-inch piece for your study or a 20-inch statement piece for your living room, these paintings bring a sense of calm and tradition to any space. I am very particular about the framing as well, using sturdy synthetic wood frames that complement the earthy tones of the art. If you have a specific deity in mind or a color theme for your wall, I am happy to discuss a custom commission to make sure the piece fits perfectly in your home.
