The Painting

This vibrant composition brings together forest life in a harmonious circular flow. A winding serpent moves protectively around a central animal figure while birds, insects, and flowers fill the space in rhythmic balance. The dotted textures create movement and pulse, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all living beings. The painting celebrates nature as a shared home where every creature coexists in dynamic harmony.

The Artform

Sohrai art is a vibrant tribal wall-painting tradition practiced primarily by indigenous communities of Jharkhand, deeply intertwined with agrarian life and seasonal festivals. Traditionally created by women on mud walls during the Sohrai harvest festival, these paintings celebrate fertility, nature, and prosperity. Using natural pigments derived from soil, charcoal, plants, and stones, artists create bold geometric patterns, animals, and symbolic forms that reflect harmony between humans, livestock, and the natural world. The spontaneous lines, rhythmic compositions, and earthy color palette give Sohrai art its distinctive visual identity. Passed down orally through generations, this art form serves both a ritualistic and storytelling purpose. In contemporary times, Sohrai art has moved beyond village walls to paper, canvas, and public spaces, gaining recognition for its raw expressiveness and deep cultural resonance.
