Introduction to Indian Folk Art: How to make Gond Paintings




Introduction to Indian Folk Art: How to make Gond Paintings

One of the distinguished forms of folk and tribal art, Gond painting is primarily practiced by the Pardhan Gond, a clan of the large Gond tribe of Dravidian origin. They were the illustrious storytellers of the Gond tribal community. Gond art, in an almost literal sense, is the translation of these songs into images of good fortune. Apart from depicting the Indian Tribal Life, Gond Art also serves as art therapy.

With a population of 4.4 million, Gond is the second largest tribal community in Central India, whose origin can be traced back to the pre-Aryan era. Though predominantly centered in Madhya Pradesh, they are present in significant numbers in the states of Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
