Cheriyal Scroll Paintings Presented to Spouses of G20 Leaders
Cheriyal scroll paintings were presented to the spouses of heads of state attending the G20 summit in New Delhi on Saturday.
The paintings, which are a traditional art form from the Telangana region of India, depict scenes from Hindu mythology and local folk stories.
They are made on long, narrow scrolls of cloth and are painted in bright colors.
The paintings were presented by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the spouses of the leaders at a reception held at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute.
The spouses also received a handwoven Tussar silk stole and a handcrafted bell metal figurine of a woman.
The Cheriyal scroll painting is a centuries-old art form that is still practiced by a small number of artists in Telangana.
The paintings are made using natural pigments and are often accompanied by music and dance.
The presentation of the Cheriyal scroll paintings is a way for India to showcase its rich cultural heritage to the leaders of the world.
It is also a way to promote the traditional art form and help it to survive and thrive.
The G20 summit is an annual meeting of the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies. The summit is held to discuss global economic and political issues.
This year’s summit is being held in New Delhi from September 11-13.
The presentation of the Cheriyal scroll paintings is a significant event that will help to raise awareness of this traditional art form.
It is also a way for India to show its appreciation to the spouses of the G20 leaders for their support.
