Pushpak Vimaana! Could really fly!

Brilliant

I just finished reading Arrow of the Blue Skinned God by Jonah Blank about the Ramayana so this image is twice as fascinating.

Exquisite

This is so intricate!

Beautiful, but I do not like Rama at all.

It is more like Thai art it is not so telugu style.

This is telugu Kalamkari style. Started by telling stories on textiles.

This is indeed Kalamkari work,pl look at their works which is the same even today!
