Kerala Murals
- Kerala painters evolved a pictorial language and technique of their own while discriminately adopting certain stylistic elements from Nayaka and Vijayanagara schools.
- The painters evolved a language taking cues from contemporary traditions, like Kathakali and kalam ezhuthu.
- The artist seems to have also derived sources from oral traditions and local versions of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata for painted narration.
- For Example – Dutch palace in Kochi, Krishnapuram palace in Kayamkulam and Padmanabhapuram palace.
