drawn from the descriptions in the invocatory verses or 'dhyana slokas'. Flora and fauna and other aspects of nature were also pictured as backdrops in highly stylized forms.
The most significant drawback of the Kerala mural tradition was that it  confined itself with in the stipulations of Icnography. However no other  mural tradition has been able to match the linear accuracy of keral murals.
