Product details
The Nakashi Wall Decor set is a boxed folk art gift. It has a pair of hand-painted Nakashi wall masks and a small brass uruli filled with wax, which works as a candle. One mask is a woman with a black and yellow headdress. The other is a man with a red turban and a curled moustache. Both are painted in bright blue, with bold eyes, red lips and small painted flowers on the ears and cheeks.
Nakashi is a painting tradition from Telangana, and artists there still make these masks by hand. Everything comes packed in our Suprabhatam – Jasmine Scented Morning gift box. It is a colourful Diwali gift for the home, and an unusual corporate gift for employees and clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
•
What is Nakashi art?
Nakashi is a traditional painting style from Telangana. Artists use bright colours and bold outlines to paint scrolls, dolls and masks, usually showing characters from folk tales and village life.
•
Why does the set come as a pair?
The two masks show a woman and a man from village life and are made to hang together. Placed side by side, they look like a couple. That makes the set a good gift for newlyweds or for a new home.
•
How do I hang the masks?
Each mask is light, so a small nail or an adhesive hook is enough. Hang them at eye level, a little apart, so both faces are easy to see.
•
What happens when the candle wax is used up?
The brass uruli stays. You can refill it with wax, use it as a small diya with oil and a wick, or float flowers in it with water.
•
How is this different from the Nakashi Mask and Wind Chimes Gift Set?
That set pairs a Nakashi mask with wind chimes. This set has two masks and a brass uruli candle, packed in the Suprabhatam gift box.
•
How do I keep the painted colours bright?
Hang the masks indoors, away from direct sunlight and damp walls. Dust them gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Don't use water.
