Kerala has a
tradition in the field of painting as is evidenced by the murals in
temples, palaces and churches. The murals of Tirunandikkara (now in
Kanyakumari district) and Tiruvanchikulam are reckoned as the earliest
specimens of Kerala painting. These have been assigned to the period
from the 9th to the 12th century A.D. Most of the murals now seen in
Kerala temples belong to the period from 15th century onwards.One can
say that the tradition of painting on walls began in Kerala with the
pre-historic rock paintings found in the Anjanad valley of Idukki
district. Archaeologists presume that these paintings belong to
different periods from upper Paleolithic period to early historic
period. Rock engravings dating to the Mesolithic period have also been
discovered in two regions of Kerala, at Edakkal in Wayanad and at
Perumkadavila in Tiruvananthapuram district.
Sujith is from Nelikkara village at waynad.
