The Spring season, the queen of all seasons, has found a vivid portrayal in the Kalamkari painting. A paradigm of beauty, the art work is fine blending of sharp lines and colours. Light pink has been aptly used by the painter. The beautiful tree and its branches have been painted with a masterstroke. The peacocks have also been treated beautifully.

Kalamkari is a traditional Indian craft predominantly related to cotton fabric. In this craft, fabric is patterned through the medium of dye rather than loom. Ochre is one of the few colors which cotton would take on easily 

The prominence of colours and the characters that emerge on cotton fabric, help create a resplendent spread in this form of art work. Kalamkari art is unique in its use of colour as a medium to portray mythological as well as mundane characters. Kalamkari is the art of painting cotton fabrics with a kalam i.e. pen, a sharp pointed pierced bamboo that regulates flow of colour on the fabric. Kalamkari colours are made from vegetable dyes. In addition to themes from the epics, Kalamkari leitmotifs comprise different forms of the lotus flower, the carwheel, parrots, an interlacing pattern of leaves and flowers.
