| | This school of art had its genesis more than 3000 years ago in Andhra Pradesh in a place called as Sri Kalahasti. | | | Due to lack of appreciation of the themes based on religion, especially by art connoisseurs abroad, an attempt was made by the traditional artists in Kalahasti to introduce contemporary variations in the forms of trees, birds, animals etc. One of the works, which gained immense popularity, was the "Tree of Life". | | | In fact there are also evidences where Kalamkari was used for creating murals based on Christian subjects. |
