This research delves into the dynamics of representational art, emphasizing its tendency to originate from one's own culture rather than another, and how it is modulated by art expertise. As a fundamental medium of human expression, art plays a crucial role in shaping a society's collective memory, capturing the essence of a particular time and space. Moreover, it serves to unite people through shared emotions, fostering cultural bonds. This study specifically explores the interplay of culture and art expertise in the social and cultural context of Telangana, focusing on three distinctive performing folk art forms—Burrakatha, Bathukamma, and Tholu Bommalata. Through a comprehensive examination of these folk art forms, the research aims to evaluate the human aesthetic experience and assess the extent to which cultural backgrounds shape these expressions, with a primary focus on socio-cultural differences. The findings underscore two key implications: first, they accentuate the regional socio-cultural appreciation, and second, they underscore the significance of these folk art forms as mediums for experiencing and propagating culturally relevant stories from history and mythology.
