• In 16th-century Europe, oil painting on canvas
  arose as an easier method for mural painting. The
  advantage was that the artwork could be completed
  in the artist's studio and later transported to
  its destination and there attached to the wall or
  ceiling.
• Murals now are found in different shapes, sizes
  and forms and are generally used for interior
  designing. Some of the common types of murals
  thus used include Graffiti-style murals, Ethnic
  murals, Tile Murals etc.
• Thus, murals may be used to decorate ones
  household and also adorn the altar, the temple or
  church to give it an ancient, eternal and divine
  touch.
