Hand painting is an ancient quintessence of workmanship rehearsed from centuries old. The main reason for people adoring paintings is that often hues remain as pictorial memories in our senses. The Deccani sultanates in Peninsular India patronized this Naqqashi craftsmanship from sixteenth century. The study was planned with objectives of documenting the origin and development of this beautiful wood based Nirmal art in Telangana state and to adapt these motifs on textile products. The data regarding the history and current status of the art was collected from the purposively selected artisans practicing this art till to date. Tempora technique of hand painting was practiced by these artisans in which natural colouring materials were used on the base prepared from the local forest based Ponniki wood. The art has not undergone much alternations and modifications over the period with reference to the motifs used, tools, techniques employed and production processes involved. In turn it has given a flexible opportunity for new modern designing concepts and ideas along with retention of traditional ethics and values.
