The beautiful Kalamkari painting of the "Lord Krishna" and His consort "Radha" is given a refine and detail treatment. The Lord is playing his flute whereas Radha is in a dancing posture. The duo are wearing some beautiful clothes and ornaments. Even the peacock and the surrounding trees are given a refine touch. Kalamkari is an exquisite ancient craft of painted and printed fabrics. It derives its name from Kalam meaning Pen, and Kari meaning work, literally Pen-work. It is hand painting as well as block printing with vegetable dyes. Kalamkari art has evolved through trial and error over the last 3000 years. Techniques of craftsmanship in Kalamkari were handed down within the families from generation to generation.
