Nirmal Arts - Paintings & Toys (Nirmal )
 The Nirmal art is generally found in the Nirmal town, Adilabad district of Andhra Pradesh. Here, many craftsmen known as Nakash reside. They are involved in Niramal arts, in which scenes from the Hindu epics, Mahabharata and Ramayana are painted.
These craftsmen use indigenous colours made from minerals, gum and herbs. The now familiar gold in Nirmal work is got from herbal Juices. Over the years, Nirmal work has grown to meet new needs. Moving away from being mere painters of epics, the craftsmen today paint motifs in the style of the old Indian schools. Moghul miniatures are reproduced beautifully on soft white wood. This white wood called Ponniki is strengthened with coatings of tamarind seed paste, fine muslin and pipeclay, before being painted.
