They were hung at sacred rituals, festivals, events, and to curtain off temple sections. Native weavers developed the fine art of 'Kalamkari'- textile printing using pen-brushes- to depict mythological themes, and then embellished their motifs with beads, shells, tassels, coins, and mirrors. These rich, vibrant textiles served as educational murals, helping worshippers recount religious tales and principles. In time, under Mughal rule, decorative wall hangings grew popular in luxury domestic use, both in India and abroad. More Images:These wall hangings are Authentic South Asian 'Kalamkari'.
