This is a wall hanging that we also purchased in India. It is a small portion of it as the full piece is used to adorn the Elephants that are used in the temple ceremonies that take place in Kerala. The largest of these festivals takes place in Lysa's hometown of Thrissur and is called Thrissur Pooram. Two temples square of with their elaborately decorated elephants during this festival that takes place in April or May depending on the Malayalam calendar. Some 50 or more elephants parade through the centre of the city in a spectacle that lasts some 36 hours. It is an event I hope to attend one day with the family.
