Alpana folk art of Bengal Mainly done on the floor and the walls of the house. The painting was done with hands (fingers are the brush) and the paint is mainly a paste comprising of rice flour. The motifs drawn are ritualistic images from mythology and scriptures. Alpana was drawn by women of the house before the sunset.

Kalamkari Painting Kalamkari literally means, Kalam pen & kari work, i.e., art work done using a pen. It is an ancient style of hand painting done on cotton or silk fabric with a tamarind pen using natural dyes. This colourful art dates back to more than 3000 B.C. The traditional style of Kalamkari flourished in Kalahasti (80 miles north of Chennai) and Masulipatnam (200 miles east of Hyderabad). The paintings at that time used to depict Hindu Deities and scenes from Hindu
2 mythology. Masulipatnam being a Muslim region, the weavers were involved in block printing art. There are two distinctive styles of kalamkari art in India the Srikalahasti style and the Machilipatnam style. The Srikalahasti style of kalamkari, wherein the kalam or pen is used for free hand drawing of the subject and filling in the colors, is entirely hand worked. This style flowered around temples and their patronage and so had an almost religious identity scrolls, temple hangings, chariot banners and the like, depicted deities and scenes taken from the Hindu epics Ramayana, Mahabarata, Puranas and the mythological classics.
