Unlike dance and music, painting captures sentiments and expressions, and retains the impact for a long period. Painting is essentially a combination of lines, forms, colors, tones, texture and space. It attempts to convey the spoken and unspoken expressions with the strokes of a brush. Face painting is considered to be an important tradition in different populations, especially the Hindu community. It is much more than just a beautifying practice. It's a sacred social act of distinction and cultural heritage.
