Description

Among the deity masks made by Nakashi mask-makers in Cheriyal village, near Warangal in Telangana, Hanuman is one of the most consistently requested, alongside Rama and Sita, according to the artisans who still practise this roughly 400-year-old craft. It's not hard to see why — Hanuman's story of unwavering devotion and strength has a place in nearly every home shrine and household tradition across India, and this mask brings that same figure into a wall-mounted form.

The mask is built the traditional way: a wooden core shaped with tamarind seed paste and sawdust, dried across several days, coated in white lime, then hand-painted using natural pigments, the artist working the expression, jewellery, and headgear detail entirely by hand. This craft earned its Geographical Indication tag in 2010, and today survives through only a small number of families still working in these original materials.

Given Hanuman's association with devotion and protection, this mask is a popular choice near a puja space or entryway, and makes a fitting gift for someone with strong ties to Hindu devotional tradition, whether for a housewarming, a festival, or simply as a meaningful piece of wall art.

Material: Tamarind seed powder, sawdust, cotton cloth, natural colours

Dimensions: 7.5 inches x 7 inches x 2.25 inches
