He is the fourth generation in this artistic family. Sai Kiran started conducting workshops at the age of 17 years for schools,colleges and corporate sectors and is continuing well.
THE ART:-
Cherial masks are a modified version of the Nakashi art, distinctive to the Cheriyal village, of Warangal district in Telangana. Wandering storytellers used painted Cheriyal masks to build intrigue for the gathered crowd in any festival to tell religious stories and folklore. The artistic tradition of making masks, handed down from generations is now a boon to the craftsmen in this Cheriyal village.
