Hanuman is shown seated with folded hands, a gesture associated with devotion, humility and unwavering faith. Painted in rich green, coral and gold, the figure stands vividly against the traditional Cheriyal red ground.

Cheriyal is a traditional storytelling craft from Telangana, once used by travelling storytellers to illustrate sacred tales, folklore and scenes of daily life. This wall plate is made from reclaimed mango wood and painted entirely by hand by a National Award-winning Cheriyal master craftsperson.
