 The Murals of Kerala bear the stamp of uniqueness
in aesthetic composition and technique. Murals came into vogue in Kerala
as early as the 8th century AD. The most antique Murals of Kerala are found in the Thirunandikkara Cave Temple in Thiruvananthapuram district, now a part of Kanya Kumari district of the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu. The temple and palace Murals of Kerala are invariably sagas of Hindu gods and goddesses and visual poems of their heroic deeds. |

Particular Centre For The Art Form
The Murals in Padmanabhapuram Palace offer a feast
of colours and motifs for the connoisseur of art. The triple storeyed
'Uppirikka Malika' houses the retiring chamber of the king and the heir
apparent. The main chamber has its inner walls decorated with fine Murals of gods and goddesses. The central motif is Anathapadmanabha, the chief deity of the erstwhile Travancore Maharajas. |
