In ancient times, it is believed that as the artist paints the deity’s eyes the painting feels ;like it's alive and is ready to worship which is why painters paint eyes at last. It was said that once the eyes are painted none of the artists can work on it afterwards, they also offer a prayer before starting to paint and  the first strokes were always done by a virgin girl of the family. 

Though, it was an  ancient belief but now this art form is not only nationally recognised but it is also famous internationally. Due to the detailed texture and vibrant colours foreigners find it a cool and new form of art.
