Once upon a time in Nepal, there was an old and traditional art that was known and practiced in the villages throughout the country. This art was known as 'Chitrakala', which means painting in Nepali. Chitrakala is an ancient art form that dates back to the 11th century, which was a period of great artistic and cultural development in Nepal. This art form was mainly practiced by the Newar people, who are from the Kathmandu Valley. The art of Chitrakala was mainly used for creating beautiful paintings that depicted religious and mythological themes. The colors used for painting were made from natural dyes such as turmeric, saffron, indigo, and kesar. The artists used a variety of brushes and materials to create the different textures and colors in their paintings. Chitrakala was an important part of the cultural life in Nepal. It was passed down from generation to generation and each artist had a unique style. Today, Chitrakala is still practiced in many parts of Nepal, although it has been influenced by modern techniques and styles. The traditional art of Chitrakala is still very much alive in Nepal and continues to be an important part of the country's culture and heritage. It is a reminder of the country's history and the talents of its people.
