The artwork, depicting "Sthreevesham"—the feminine role in the traditional art form of Kathakali—emerges gracefully from a backdrop of natural foliage, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle visible from a distance.

Measuring 45 feet in height and 20 feet in width, the painting occupies an impressive 920 square feet of the 75-foot-tall water tank's walls.

The mural represents a unique artistic achievement, showcasing one of the largest Sthreevesham-themed works in Kerala.

The artwork was conceptualized by artist Ambili and brought to life in over six days by her team, comprising Subeesh Krishna from Malappuram, Shaheen from Kodoor, and Unni Mannengodu from Koppam.
