Traditional Kerala Mural Art: Devotional Paintings for Your Home
I hand-paint traditional Kerala murals that bring sacred energy and divine storytelling into your living space or pooja room.

About Kerala Mural Art: The Pantheon of Gods
When you commission a mural, I follow traditional methods to ensure every detail, from the jewelry patterns to the deity's expression, stays true to classical temple art. Whether you need a specific size for a pooja door or a large canvas for a living room feature wall, I sketch the layout first and keep you updated as the colours develop layer by layer, ensuring the piece fits perfectly in your home.
I believe that authentic art requires time and genuine effort. Unlike mass-produced prints or wallpapers, my Kerala mural paintings are created using the traditional Panchavarna color palette, ensuring a vibrant and lasting finish. I work closely with you to understand the dimensions of your space and the specific theme you want to bring to life, whether it is the divine Geethopadesham, a serene Anandashayanam, or the remover of obstacles, Lord Ganesha.
My process is fully collaborative. Once we decide on the subject, I start with a preliminary sketch. As I paint, I share updates, allowing you to see the progress. This includes decisions on background intensity or detailing, ensuring the final piece matches your vision and your interior decor. Every canvas is treated with a protective, archival-quality varnish, making it moisture-resistant and durable enough to pass down as a family heirloom.
I also handle the logistics of shipping across India, using heavy-duty PVC tubes for canvases or crated packaging for framed boards to ensure your art arrives safely. If you have a specific deity in mind or a unique space like a pooja room, a lobby, or a main entrance wall, feel free to reach out. I would love to create something that brings peace and positive energy to your daily life.
