Abstract:
The traditional folk painting of Andhra Pradesh provides an aesthetic sensibility and authenticity, making Indian folk art famous internationally. Kalamkari is one of the most popular folk paintings of Andhra Pradesh that came due to the alliance between the Persian and Indian trade merchants. The
traditional Kalamkari is entirely a hand-crafted textile using natural dyes. Nowadays, the printed version of Kalamkari has become more famous due to changing market preferences and the ready availability of synthetic dyes.
