Historical Sightings : India

This post in particular is for Graffiti, especially in India. Graffiti, Street Art, murals etc are not some modern terms you hear, just because Banksy made something controversial on the walls you get to know what Graffiti is. Well, it has been happening for a long time now. Especially in India, where woman decorate their houses by applying a base coat of Red (Geru) and then painting over them with white, typically known as Worli art. There are several other styles and designs from various other places which I will be sharing in subsequent posts. I share this one right now because I happened to stumble upon something incredible. India's wall art gets featured on Brain Pickings . Go on check it out!!
The post is actually talking about someone who has released a book (Nurturing Walls) with the early designs that were made on the wall, especially animal designs.

Here's a quick look!
