Think tea plantations, endangered species of animals and miraculous flowers that bloom once every 12 years – all these precisely describe Munnar. But dig deeper and the mountains will reveal an artistic side that is hidden beneath their calm exteriors. While taking care of its wild life and tea blends, Munnar hasn’t overlooked its art and culture.
Places like the Mistletoe Art Gallery and Thirumeny Cultural Centre will let your artistic side feast on paintings and performing arts. Mistletoe Art Gallery exhibits paintings that are created with natural colours and ingredients. There are mural paintings made from natural dyes and charcoal. The inherent simplicity of these paintings makes them a sight to behold. What they lack in the complex artistic lingo, they make up for with the simplistic beauty of everyday objects and scenarios.
You can also marvel at paintings by some of the prominent artists of Kerala such as M Somu Aymanam and Manikanndan Punnakkal. Thirumeny Cultural Centre also contributes to the preservation of traditional art forms of Kerala by arranging Kathakali and Kalaripayattu performances.
