Kerala mural painting || by RAJAT ROY || 5 min painting || in simple steps

Traditional murals used panchavarana (Sanskrit: five colors) exclusively i.e. red, yellow, green, black and white, white being the color of the wall itself. Colors are prepared from vegetables and mineral pigments. Red is derived from red laterite, yellow is derived from yellow laterite, white from lime, and black from soot of oil-lamps. Leaves of Neelamari (Indian Indigo; Indigofera tinctoria ) plant are squeezed and the extract is used after drying up to be mixed with Eravikkara (Garcinia morella) for obtaining the green pigment. Wooden utensils are used for mixing the colours and the binding media used is derived from tender coconut water and extracts from the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica).

Coloring of the characters in mural is doneas per their characteristics as illustrated in the relevant Hindu mythological scriptures. The spiritual, divine and dharmic characters (satwika) are depicted in shades of green. Those influenced towards power & materialistic wealth (rajasic) are painted in shades of red to golden yellow. The evil, wicked and mean characters (tamasic) are generally painted in white or black.
