Ever wondered what imli ke beej (tamarind seeds) can turn into?
In Cheriyal craft, they become a bold, story-filled mask that looks straight at you like a theatre character.

Cheriyal is a Telangana folk art rooted in storytelling—the same tradition behind the iconic Cheriyal scroll paintings, once used by performers to narrate epics and folk tales. That’s why these faces feel so alive: big expressive eyes, bold outlines, rich colours—made to stand out like stage characters under spotlight. Every mask carries a persona—a hero, a villain, a deity, a comic character—each with its own mood and presence.

These masks are traditionally made by shaping sawdust + tamarind seed paste (imli ka gond) by hand, then sun-drying it till it’s strong. After that, artisans smooth it, add a white base coat so the colours shine, and then paint every detail—those dramatic eyes, sharp outlines, jewellery motifs—all freehand, layer by layer. Finished with a protective coat, it stays vibrant for years.

Basically: folk art + theatre + slow handmade magic—for your wall.
