Cheriyal scroll painting is one of the earliest forms of audio – visual entertainment and these paintings are prepared by only Nakashi caste people in Telangana state. Hundreds of year ago, the story telling communities used to travel through the villages of Telangana, singing and narrating stories using the scroll as their visual aid. The scroll measures about 3 feet in width and can extend over 60 feet. The scrolls contain about 40 to 50 panels, each depicting a part of the story and would be displayed as the story unfolds.. Their work is mainly focused on community specific storyline. Cheriyal paintings are a unique pictorial presentation of the numerous tales from Hindu epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana and the various Indian Puranas. They acted as wonderful means of communication, particularly useful for illiterate people and conveyed significant moral virtues, motivating people to be virtuous. The scrolls also depict the legends and mythologies of the communities along with their Gods and heroes. Irrespective of the community or profession, each Cheriyal scroll starts with a panel of Ganapati, the God of wealth, followed by Sarswati, the Goddess of learning. It is customary for the artist to seek blessing of the deities, in order to ensure that the art flourishes without any obstacle. The Cheriyal Scroll painting is drawn on hand made khadi cloth or canvas specially processed with applying a paste of tamarind seed along with a tree gum and white clay. Three coats of the paste are applied, allowing a day in between for the paste to dry. Once the scroll is ready, and the artist draws the outline, using a squirrel haired brush, in a phased manner. The striking red color fills the background. The color of the face and skin is decided by the nature of the character, like blue and yellow are for Gods and Goddesses respectively. Brown or darker shades are for demons, while pink and skin tones are for humans. In Cheriyal scrolls only natural colours were used like white was obtained from grounded sea shells, black from lamp soot, yellow from Pevidi stone, blue from Iindigo leafs, red from Inglikam stone and the others from various vegetable dyes and ground stones. Every colour is mixed with thirumani tree gum, before being applied on the scroll.

For those of you using a 44-inch wide fabric, this guide suggests measurements for a standard L Size. Think of this as your starting point. If you're working with different sizes or fabric widths, just adjust up or down accordingly. Hope this helps!
When it comes to how much fabric you'll need, it really depends on the design. We'd recommend having a chat with your designer or tailor before you order, just to be on the safe side.
