Karuppur Kalamkari, which is also known as ‘Chithra Paddam’ (figurative drawing), has its origins in Andhra Pradesh.
In 1540, the first Nayak ruler of Thanjavur, Sevappa Nayak, is said to have brought a group of Karuppur Kalamkari artists to work in the palace and temples, who later settled down in Sickalnayakenpet.
The Tanjore tradition is different from that of Srikalahasti and Machilipatnam.
Karuppur kalamkari is filled with regional impact and is more similar to motifs employed in kumbakanom applique.
This should not be difficult in view of the rich repertory of source material available from which inspiration may be drawn.
