Syaahi Bangalori Silk Multicolor Spiritual Wall Hanging

What are the figures in the scene doing?

Standing figures and a yellow cow among lotuses and leaves, painted on a royal blue ground. The yellow cow is the brightest point in the scene, standing out warmly against the deep blue.

What is the frame around the scene like?

An orange and green frame of leaves and lotuses surrounds the panel, with pendant drops hanging along it. The warm orange works as a strong contrast to the royal blue centre, so the frame really lifts the scene.

Is this one ready-made or painted to order?

Yes. Each hanging is made to order and painted by hand at our Kalamkari unit in Mangalagiri by Master Artisan Jyothi, so yours will be freshly painted and carry small natural variations.

What is the hanging made of?

Bangalori silk, a fabric from Bangalore known for its smooth texture. The scene, the lotuses and the leafy frame are all painted directly onto the silk by hand, so the silk itself forms the ground of the painting.

Will the blue suit a warm or cool room?

Royal blue is a cool colour, but the orange frame and yellow cow add warmth, so it sits well in both. With white or grey walls it feels calm and fresh; with wood and warm lighting, the orange and yellow come forward.

Where would you place it?

Its calm scene with a cow and lotuses suits a quiet space: a living room, a bedroom or a reading corner. On a pale wall the royal blue stands out clearly, and it also looks lovely near plants.
