Shekhawati Fresco Painting, Royal Wall Painting & Heritage Restoration
Preserving four decades of imperial fine-art heritage. NayakArts creates authentic wet-lime plaster frescoes (Arayish), devotional Pichwai wall murals, and royal courtyard motifs using natural mineral pigments, gemstone extracts, and aged slaked lime for centuries of permanent radiance.
Centuries-Old Traditions of Rajput Fine-Art
Rajasthani fresco painting (historically known as Arayish or Shekhawati fresco) is celebrated worldwide for its vibrant durability and cultural narrative. Unlike standard surface paint, true fresco chemically bonds with the slaked lime plaster as it cures, ensuring the artwork becomes an integral part of the wall structure.
Buon Fresco (True Fresco)
Mineral pigments painted directly onto fresh wet lime plaster. The color crystallizes into calcium carbonate, rendering the artwork impervious to flaking or sun damage.
Devotional Pichwai Murals
Exquisite heritage compositions depicting sacred lotus ponds, Shrinathji iconography, and celestial cow motifs adorned with delicate 24K real gold accents.
Jaipur Arayish Stucco
The legendary mirror-smooth lime plaster technique burnished with smooth river agate stones to yield a velvety, marble-like tactile surface that breathes naturally.
