In ancient time walls are seen to be plastered with different substances (i.e., “fragrant gum resin”) and these were prepared for Painting. [...] For the process of plastering on a wall (i.e., kuḍya or bhitti), the painter needs to mix and mingle various ingredients [viz., guggula i.e., a particular fragrant gum resin, ... etc.]. After that, the mixture should be transferred to a touch stone mortar for the process of pounding.
