    Kavi Kala (A Wall Mural art using Red Oxide Paste) was painstakingly documented by famous anthropologist and sociologist Dr. Krishnanand Kamath. He toured relentless throughout the coastal Karnataka and Goa to document this unique art form. He has collected thousands of motifs which were etched on the walls of various temples on the coast.
    Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy and Goa Konkani Academy has published his book "Konkanyale Kavikala". The Book has been awarded with TMA Pai Foundation Appreciation Award in Year 2000. The Designs are also being featured on www.kamat.com

    Its happy to note the Kavikala being popularised by replicating the traditional motifs on Canvas. Thus the age old Kavikala motifs will regain its right full place on the drawing room walls.
