ABOUT THE ART
Cheriyal paintings are generally considered to be the pictorial presentation of scenes from Indian mythological epics such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Krishna Leela, and other mythological scripts.
But, Cheriyal paintings also primarily told stories of all 7 castes of the village, the fisherman, washerman, tadi collectors, barbers, weavers and farmers.
ABOUT THE THEME
Sammakka Sarakka Jathara is said to be the largest tribal religious festival in Asia. The quiet hamlet of Medaram, a village in Telangana’s Mulugu district, hosts the biennial tribal festival Sammakka Sarakka Jatara. It is also known as Medaram Jatara, and is held in the month of Magha which usually falls in February.
The festival showcases the traditions and heritage of Koya tribal people and commemorates the fight of a mother and daughter," Sammakka and Saralamma" (also known as Sarakka), with the reigning rulers against an unjust law.
People offer bellam (jaggery) equivalent to their weight to the goddesses and take a holy bath in Jampanna Vagu prior to that to wash away their sins.
In this workshop, we will paint the story from their birth to them being revered as goddesses.
