Kandyan period frescoes are art painted on walls that were made a long time ago in a place called Kandy, which is in Sri Lanka. Frescoes are paintings made by painting on wet plaster walls, so the colors soak into the plaster and become part of the wall.
Kandyan period frescoes have been around for a long time, since the 17th century. They were painted by the people who lived in Sri Lanka at that time, who were called the Kandyan people. The frescoes show us what life was like back then, with pictures of people doing things like dancing, playing music, and taking care of animals. Some of the frescoes also show us religious or mythical stories.
The paintings are very colorful and bright, with lots of reds, yellows, blues, and greens. Even though the frescoes are really old, they still look really pretty and interesting to look at, with their intricate details and designs. People today still love to visit the places where the frescoes are found, like the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, to see these beautiful works of art.
