"This 'Kalamkari' piece is drawn on ‘mulberry silk’ and is a regional art of Andhra Pradesh.<br />

Usually there are two distinctive styles of Kalamkari art in India viz., 'Srikalahasti' and 'Machilipatnam'. The Srikalahasti is drawn<br />

with 'kalam' (pen) and usually is a free hand drawing. The aside piece is of type Srikalahasti. This painting took 13 hours for its completion<br />

and the toughest part while drawing was to leave the white spaces in between, since the fabric paints usually tend to merge<br />

faster on silk cloths.<br />
