You will hardly ever come across a house that is unkempt or not painted with a color. Generally all people get their house painted and even hire expertise for the same. The houses will have either patterned designs or just multiple layers of paint, all of it to make your haven look beautiful not only your eyes but also those who visit the place.
The painting of the walls has its roots in the history of cave painting. The earliest known evidence of painting we have is from the caves in different regions of the world, which reflect the paintings of an early era (approx 32,000 years ago). It is said the caves were painted to decorate them. While other theories on the subject suggest they were used as a means of communication amongst people, besides holding a religious and ceremonial purpose.
The painting of the houses has evolved from the cave paintings. These cave paintings had great significance in the life of the early people besides being an art of expression they were also a form of entertainment. Today though in the literal sense of the term, it is lesser a form of expression but has evolved as a refined art with many sophisticated techniques introduced in it.
