Wall art Madhya Pradesh

India is abundant in art & craft. Traces of art & paintings are found at every corner and every little village in India. People in the smallest to the busiest cities are busy finding a way to decorate their homes or express themselves through the medium of art.

I'm always on the look out for wall paintings. Here I feature folk wall paintings of Madhya Pradesh. I don't know what these are called... but they are found mostly on the outside of homes & courtyards.

A closer look...


Can you spot the below bird in the first picture.

These are pictures from inside a hotel in Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh. I'd love to try and paint one of these.
