In this episode - I will be talking about an amazing art form Indian state of Jharkhand, Sohrai Painting. One of the lesser-known folk art forms of India which deserves to be equally known. Sohrai paintings are beautiful tribal paintings that are usually based on natural elements of the universe, this includes forests, rivers, animals amongst others. These ancient paintings are made by tribal (Adivasi) women with the use of natural substances like charcoal, clay, or soil. The art is done in the form of wall painting during the Sohrai festival, to celebrate after harvest. Sohrai art is regarded as the oldest and most famous festival in Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal.
