This Kinnala art wall hanging is a made with beautiful colours with red being prominent and catching the eye. The overlap of gold is adding a charm to the painting. The border is very intricate and fine.

This Kinnala painting depicts an elephant in an octagonal frame. The bright elephant is the central focus of the work and catches the eye immediately. Take a look!

This painting is also done in an octagonal frame and the Ganesha is the central focus. The caption reads, \”A Kinnala artist first roughly draws the character on the wood, and then chisels to create an initial model. After this, a mixture of liquid tamarind and pebble paste is applied, and the idol is left to dry. \”
