The Dhanalakota family is one of the most prominent names in the world of Cheriyal painting, an art form deeply rooted in the storytelling traditions of Telangana. For generations, this talented family has dedicated itself to preserving, practicing, and promoting this rich visual heritage through vibrant scrolls and panels that depict epics, folklore, and village life. From master artist Venkataramana to the younger generation including Sai Kiran, the Dhanalakotas have kept the traditional techniques of Cheriyal art alive, while also introducing contemporary themes and evolving storytelling methods. The family works closely together—painting, teaching, and participating in exhibitions across India and abroad. Artists like Deepika, Padma, and Nageshwar bring their own flair to the tradition, contributing intricate details, vibrant compositions, and unique perspectives shaped by years of hands-on experience. Today, the Dhanalakota family stands as a symbol of continuity and cultural pride—passing on the legacy of Cheriyal painting not just within their family, but to a wider audience of learners, art lovers, and cultural enthusiasts. Their contributions to the art world have been widely recognized, and he has received numerous awards for his outstanding work.
