NIRMAL ARTS & PAINTINGS IN NIRMAL

This is where simple materials are transformed into exquisite crafts and articles of utility. This is the art form, which originated in 14th century. Under the royal patronage of then ruling nobility Nirmal craftsmen have expertise in wooden engravings.

The uniqueness of Nirmal crafts is that local available materials are used. The list of Nirmal goods is endless but the basic material used is wood whether it is furniture, toys, plaques, bangles, jewellery boxes, screens or miniature paintings.

The craftsmen use indigenous mineral and vegetable dyes for colouring their products. They even produce gold covers from herbal extracts. Expermentation of colours resulted in many transformations.

It is learnt that when this craft first started it was limited in its range. The first articles were based on figures and episodes from mythology and were purely art objects. But the dawn of 17th century saw a new horizon of this art form. The local talent was exploited and articles of utility and decoration started to be manufactured.

Legend says that the Nizams of Hyderabad were very much inclined by the Nirmal craftsman ship.
