About Chikani Arts

Surpur- the epicenter of Mysore style of painting

Surpur’s place throughout the entire existence of Indian workmanship has been established to a great extent being the focal point of a variation of the Mysore style of painting.

Crafted by past experts of the workmanship like Banayya Garudadri. It spread incredible consciousness of the complexities of the fine art. Yet additionally of the remaining of Surpur with regards to conventional Indian craftsmanship.

The style and the topics (scenes from the Indian sagas) when investigated are, in some sense, a subordinate of this impact. It can very well be viewed as a tribute to this withering work of art which has hardly any living professionals today. Surpur has now been rechristened Shorapur Town. What is more, it is an able illustration for the work.
