Unititled Saura Painting

This Saura painting is set inside a framed border, and within it stick-thin figures, animals and forms are drawn in fine white line. The figures are built from simple triangles and strokes. Saura paintings, called idital, are painted on the walls of Saura homes in Odisha, and this work carries that language onto silk cloth. Painting in acrylic on silk gives the surface a soft sheen and lets the fine lines stay crisp. The tall format, 41 by 21 inches, gives the figures room and lets the composition be read from top to bottom. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted in acrylic on silk cloth, an unusual surface for Saura art. • Fine line figures arranged inside a framed border, in the visual language of Saura idital. • At 41 x 21 inches, the tall format suits narrow walls, stairways and entrances. • A distinctive piece for collectors of rare tribal art forms. Add this Saura work to your collection today.

Tulsi Vrindavan Worship by Chetan Parshuram Gangavane

Women in bright saris gather around a tulsi planter in Tulsi Vrindavan Worship, a scene from the daily life of a Maharashtrian home. The tulsi vrindavan is the raised planter in the courtyard where the holy basil grows, and women worship it each day. Chetan Parshuram Gangavane paints the moment in the Chitrakathi manner of Pinguli, with flat colour, strong outlines and a border that frames the ritual like a page from a picture-story. It is a quiet subject for a tradition known for epics, and that makes it special. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Chetan Parshuram Gangavane of the Thakar community of Pinguli. • A domestic ritual painted in the Chitrakathi style, which is more often used for epic stories. • At 16.5 x 11.7 inches in acrylic and poster colours on paper, it suits puja rooms and entrance walls. • A meaningful gift for Tulsi Vivah, Diwali and housewarmings. Bring this courtyard ritual home today.

Royal Procession on an Elephant (Gajaraj Sawari) by Chetan Parshuram Gangavane

A royal figure rides high on an elephant in Chetan Parshuram Gangavane’s Royal Procession on an Elephant, with attendants and a red border framing the march. Gajaraj sawari means a ride on the king of elephants. In Chitrakathi, paintings like this are held up one by one while a story is sung, so each sheet is a single frame in a longer tale. Chetan comes from the Thakar community of Pinguli in Maharashtra, and his father, Parshuram Gangavane, received the Padma Shri in 2021 for keeping the art alive. ### Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Chetan Parshuram Gangavane of the Gangavane family of Pinguli. • A single storytelling frame from Chitrakathi, the picture-story tradition of the Thakar community. • At 16.5 x 11.7 inches in acrylic and poster colours on paper, it suits studies, bookshelves and gallery clusters. • A rare collector’s piece from one of India’s least-seen folk traditions.

Village Community by Sadashiv Mhase

Sadashiv Mhase fills Village Community with the whole life of a Warli settlement. Huts, trees and many small white figures spread across cow dung and acrylic on raw canvas, each figure busy with its own task. Nothing sits at the centre as the main subject, because the community itself is the subject. The eye drifts from one small activity to the next, and the painting reads as a village seen all at once. Sadashiv is the elder son of Padma Shri Jivya Soma Mhase, and the figures here carry the same spare, lively line his father made famous. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Warli master Sadashiv Mhase, elder son of Padma Shri Jivya Soma Mhase. • Cow dung and acrylic on raw canvas give the earthy ground and texture of a Warli wall. • At 39 x 27 inches, it is a large statement piece for living rooms, lobbies and boardrooms. • A collector’s piece from the family most closely tied to the revival of Warli painting.

Worship of Nature - After Harvesting Crops by Pravin Mhase

Once the crops are in, Warli families give thanks to the land that fed them, and Pravin Mhase paints that moment in Worship of Nature - After Harvesting Crops. White figures gather across a cow dung base, the same earthen ground used to plaster Warli homes, and their gestures turn toward worship rather than work. The cow dung gives the painting its warm brown tone and slightly uneven texture, so the figures sit on a surface that feels like a village wall. Pravin, grandson of Padma Shri Jivya Soma Mhase, keeps to the circle and triangle figures of the tradition and lets the arrangement carry the feeling of gratitude. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Warli artist Pravin Mhase of the Mhase family. • Cow dung base with acrylic and poster colour, the traditional Warli ground brought to a portable surface. • A meaningful gift around harvest festivals and housewarmings.

Untitled by Sakun Bai

Sakun Bai leaves this Baiga painting untitled and lets the animal at its centre speak for itself. A large creature in red and orange fills most of the sheet, its body broken into bands of pattern that give it weight and movement. Green plant forms sit at the edges against a clean white ground. The white space matters, because it keeps the composition open and makes the warm colours of the animal stand out strongly. Sakun Bai uses the same approach in other works, such as her Couple of Scorpions. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Baiga artist Sakun Bai in acrylic on paper. • The bold red and orange animal against a white ground gives a small painting a big presence. • At 11.5 x 16.25 inches, it suits a study, bedroom wall or a cluster of smaller artworks. • An affordable way to begin collecting Baiga art, and a lovely gift.

Bhil Cultural Traditions I by Yashpal Baranda

Yashpal Baranda’s Bhil Cultural Traditions I reads like a page from a village record. The canvas is divided into compartments, and each one holds its own scene from Bhil life, so the painting works as a set of small stories told side by side. Warm reds and earthy oranges run through the panels. The dots that mark Bhil painting fill both the figures and the grounds, giving the whole surface a fine, even texture. Because each panel stands on its own, the eye can rest on one scene before moving to the next, much like reading. The numeral in the title marks this as the first work in a series on Bhil customs. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Bhil artist Yashpal Baranda in acrylic on canvas. • The panel layout packs many scenes of Bhil life into one painting, which rewards slow, close viewing. • At 27.5 x 24 inches, it fits living rooms, reading corners and gallery walls. • A thoughtful gift for anyone interested in tribal customs and storytelling through art.

Village Celebration by Siya Shyam

Siya Shyam’s Village Celebration catches a Gond village in the middle of a festival. Figures gather across a bright yellow ground in rows that suggest a group dance moving in step, and their bodies are filled with dense Gond patterning. The yellow reads as sunlight and festivity at once, and it pushes the darker patterned figures forward so each one stands out clearly. Repeated poses give the scene a beat, the way a line of dancers holds a rhythm together. The near-square canvas keeps the gathering close, as if the viewer is standing at the edge of the celebration. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Gond artist Siya Shyam in acrylic on canvas. • The strong contrast between the yellow ground and the patterned figures gives the painting real presence from across a room. • At 30 x 27 inches, it suits living rooms, entrances, studios and office breakout spaces. • A joyful gift for housewarmings, festivals and collectors of Gond art.

Joyful Cows - Gau Charai by Sahdev Pusham

Sahdev Pusham’s Joyful Cows - Gau Charai turns the daily walk of cattle to their grazing ground into a small celebration. Gau charai means grazing the cows, and here the herd spreads across a soft blue ground that keeps the mood light and open. Pusham builds each cow from fine lines and dots, running pattern through every body so that no two animals look alike. The way the animals turn and overlap gives the scene the playful energy the title promises. The large canvas lets the herd spread out, so the eye travels across the painting the way a herd moves across a field. Why does this painting stand out? • Hand-painted by Gond artist Sahdev Pusham, whose fine line and dot work gives every cow its own pattern. • The calm blue ground lets the patterned herd carry the colour and keeps the composition easy on the eye. • Measuring 50 x 37 inches, this acrylic on canvas painting makes a statement in a living room, lobby or long gallery wall. • A warm gift for animal lovers and anyone drawn to village life and Gond art. Bring this cheerful herd home and add it to your collection today.

Gond Majestic Tigers

In Gond traditions, the tiger is more than a creature of the wild. It is strength, protection, and the living rhythm of the forest. Every stripe carries meaning, every curve holds the memory of a visual language passed down through generations of Gondi artists from Madhya Pradesh. The tiger is not depicted from a distance here. It is rendered from the inside, each element of the body filled with the dots, dashes, and repeated patterns that give Gond art its distinctive energy and meditative depth. This is nature understood as interconnection rather than spectacle, painted with the patient hand of an artist who sees the forest as a continuous living system rather than a backdrop.

Dudh Lautawa: A Gond Wedding Tradition by Kaushal Prasad Tekam

Dudh Lautawa: A Gond Wedding Tradition is an original Gond painting by acclaimed artist Kaushal Prasad Tekam, depicting the traditional Dudh Lautawa ceremony practiced among Gond communities of Central India. Dudh Lautawa, literally meaning "returning the milk," is an important wedding ritual that symbolizes gratitude, reciprocity, and the bonds between families. The ceremony acknowledges the nurturing role of the maternal family and celebrates the social relationships that sustain community life. In this painting, the bride, groom, family members, and ceremonial participants gather around a richly adorned Tree of Life, a recurring symbol of continuity, prosperity, and interconnectedness in Gond culture. The branches of the tree are filled with ceremonial objects, ornaments, musical instruments, and symbols of abundance, while birds animate the composition, representing harmony and the transmission of cultural knowledge across generations. Through intricate patterns and vibrant colours, Kaushal Prasad Tekam transforms this living tradition into a powerful visual narrative that preserves and celebrates Gond cultural heritage.

Forest Symphony by Kaushal Prasad Tekam

Forest Symphony is an original Gond painting by acclaimed artist Kaushal Prasad Tekam, portraying the vibrant rhythms of life within an Indian forest. Birds perch among flourishing trees, monkeys move through the canopy, and wild animals inhabit the forest floor, creating a visual narrative of coexistence and ecological balance. Executed in the distinctive Gond tradition, the artwork employs intricate line work, detailed patterns, and vibrant colours to animate every living form. The composition reflects the Gond community's deep connection with nature, where forests are viewed not merely as landscapes but as living entities filled with stories, spirits, and interconnected life. Rich in detail and symbolism, this work celebrates biodiversity, harmony, and the enduring relationship between humans and the natural world.

Birds

They go in every direction. Some point upward, some hang suspended at an angle, some face left, some right, one small pair rests at the bottom edge of the composition as though they have only just landed and have not yet decided where to go next. There is no flock logic here, no shared trajectory. Each bird occupies its own orientation within the white ground, as though thought itself has been given a body and scattered across the page in the moment before it coheres into something more orderly. This is precisely what Sandip Dhurve intended. The birds in this painting are a self-portrait of the mind at work, of the thoughts that arrive while the hand is moving, that go sideways and upside down and diagonal before they find their direction. Each bird is built with the same patient attention: scale patterning across the rounded body, fine parallel hatching in the wings, a large watchful eye, a sharp beak that points wherever the creature is going. No two are oriented alike. Together they create not chaos but the honest record of a mind thinking, which has its own rhythm and its own logic even when it does not announce them. Dhurve works in the Gond tradition of Madhya Pradesh, where the natural world is understood as continuous with the inner one, where a bird is never only a bird. Drawn on paper in monochrome, this work is one of the most intimate in his practice: a composition that is also a confession, a field of creatures that is also a field of thought. Why This Artwork Stands Out ### The scattered, multi-directional arrangement of the birds translates the movement of thought into compositional form, making the painting's structure and its subject inseparable from one another. Each bird is individually rendered with the full vocabulary of Gond mark-making, scale, hatch and dot, giving a composition of repeated forms, the intimacy and variation of a hand-written page. The large, expressive eyes on each figure give the scattered birds a quality of alert interiority, so that the composition feels less like an observation of nature and more like an encounter with consciousness. Dhurve's willingness to make his own thinking the subject of a Gond painting is a quietly radical gesture, demonstrating the tradition's capacity to hold personal and philosophical content within its visual language.

Porcupine

The tree and the animal are not two separate subjects. They have grown into one another so completely that it is no longer possible to say where the roots end and the creature begins. The porcupine moves through the lower half of the composition with a grounded, unhurried confidence, its body built from the same visual vocabulary as the tree above it: dotwork, scale patterning, close hatching, the layered marks of a hand that understands every living form as a system of interconnected textures. From its back, a great sweep of quills rises and fans outward, and it is here that the tree takes over, the quills becoming roots becoming trunk becoming the wide, bird-filled canopy that crowns the entire composition. The transition is seamless because in the Gond world view it is not a transition at all. It is simply how things are. Birds perch throughout the upper branches with the ease of creatures that have always lived here. The canopy is dense and full, rendered in the close dotwork and branching line that Sandip Dhurve uses to suggest not just foliage but the accumulated life that foliage supports. The white background throughout is not emptiness but space, held open so that the intricate mark-making of the figure can breathe. Dhurve works in the Gond tradition of Madhya Pradesh, a visual language built on the understanding that every creature carries a world within it, and that the relationship between animal, tree and bird is not metaphor but fact. This painting makes that fact visible, quietly and without argument, in the most direct and patient of marks. Why This Artwork Stands Out ### The seamless visual integration of porcupine and tree collapses the boundary between animal and plant into a single, continuous form, expressing the Gond worldview of ecological interconnection with rare compositional intelligence. The transition from quill to root to trunk to canopy is achieved entirely through mark-making, demonstrating Dhurve's mastery of the Gond visual vocabulary across multiple textures within a single work. The birds in the canopy and the porcupine at the base establish a complete vertical ecology, from earth to sky, within the space of one quietly extraordinary image. The monochromatic palette gives the intricate surface detail its full authority, with no colour to distract from the quality and precision of the mark itself.

Forest Animals

Four wild boars press together in a tightly packed, overlapping group in this handmade painting by Kaushal Prasad Tekam, their stout bodies rendered in earthy bands of brown, ochre, orange, blue and mauve, each band filled with dense rows of short dash marks that give every surface a richly textured, woven quality. The animals face in different directions, their leaf-shaped ears, expressive eyes and curling tails giving each one a distinct personality despite the uniformity of the palette. The overlapping arrangement compresses the four figures into a single, almost sculptural mass, their bodies merging at the edges in a visual metaphor for the closeness and collective movement of a herd. Painted in acrylic on paper against a warm peach ground, the work captures the Gond understanding of forest animals not as isolated specimens but as creatures that move, rest and exist as a group, their bodies and fates bound together. The earthy, autumnal palette of brown, ochre, orange and blue gives this original artwork a warm, grounded quality that feels drawn directly from the forest floor, the muted tones creating a colour harmony that is both sophisticated and deeply organic. Kaushal Prasad Tekam's dash-work technique builds every band of colour from thousands of individually drawn short marks, creating a surface density that rewards close viewing and distinguishes this handcrafted painting from any printed reproduction. As a piece of Indian art, every boar, every band and every dash was created entirely by hand, carrying an authenticity and individuality that mass-produced prints cannot replicate. This painting holds compelling appeal as distinctive wall art for contemporary home decor and as a culturally significant collectible from the living traditions of Gond tribal painting, available on Rooftop. Why This Artwork Stands Out ### Every band and dash mark is applied entirely by hand by Kaushal Prasad Tekam, making this a unique original artwork of exceptional handcrafted detail. The tightly packed, overlapping composition of four wild boars creates a powerful sense of herd movement and collective energy rooted in Gond forest observation. The warm, earthy palette of brown, ochre, orange and blue gives the work a grounded, organic presence that complements a wide range of home decor and wall art settings. As an authentic Gond painting by a practising master artist, this artwork carries significant cultural relevance and enduring collectible value.

Forest Birds

Four birds are gathered in a close, overlapping arrangement in this handmade painting by Kala Bai Shyam, their plump bodies built from chequerboard blocks of fine horizontal and vertical stripes in alternating palettes of green-and-yellow and orange-and-pink. Two larger birds dominate the composition, one in green and one in warm orange, their wings spread wide as though caught mid-flight or mid-landing, while two smaller birds tuck between them, their compact bodies adding notes of contrasting colour to the grouping. The alternation of green and orange across the four figures creates a rhythmic colour dialogue, the warm and cool tones weaving through the composition like a visual melody. Painted in acrylic on paper, the work presents the forest's bird life not as individual portraits but as a collective, a flock rendered in the graphic, textile-like language of Kala Bai Shyam's distinctive woven-stripe technique. The interplay of green and orange gives this original artwork a fresh, nature-inspired colour harmony that is both vibrant and balanced, the two palettes amplifying each other's intensity against the clean white ground. The overlapping arrangement of the four bodies creates a sense of closeness and communal energy, the birds existing not as separate figures but as parts of a single, interconnected group. Kala Bai Shyam's stripe work is applied with characteristic precision across every wing and body, each block of fine lines drawn individually by hand. As a piece of handcrafted Indian art, every bird was painted entirely by hand, carrying the irreplaceable warmth and authenticity of the truly handmade. This painting holds beautiful appeal as distinctive wall art for contemporary home decor and as a collectible of enduring cultural significance within the Gond tribal painting tradition, available on Rooftop. Why This Artwork Stands Out ### Every striped block across all four birds is drawn entirely by hand by Kala Bai Shyam, ensuring this is a genuine one-of-a-kind original artwork. The overlapping, flock-like arrangement creates a dynamic sense of communal movement and energy that captures the spirit of forest bird life. The fresh green and warm orange palette produces a vibrant, nature-inspired colour harmony that adds life and warmth to any wall art arrangement or interior setting. As an authentic Gond painting by a practising master artist, this artwork carries significant cultural relevance and enduring collectible value.

Gond Animals & Birds

Eight creatures fill this handmade painting by Kala Bai Shyam in a grid-like arrangement of animal forms, each one rendered in bold, interlocking stripes of green, blue, red, pink and brown that give every body a woven, basket-like texture. The menagerie includes deer, owls, cats, dogs and birds, each creature occupying its own space on the warm peach ground, their wide eyes and expressive faces giving every figure a distinct personality. Two round, owl-like creatures sit at the centre with large, heart-shaped facial markings, their compact bodies contrasting with the elongated forms of the running deer and reclining cats that surround them. At the bottom, two birds face in opposite directions, their plump bodies patterned with the same striped, woven technique that unifies the entire composition. Painted in acrylic on paper, the work presents a Gond bestiary: a catalogue of forest inhabitants rendered with affection, humour and an unmistakable graphic boldness. The all-over arrangement of eight distinct creatures gives this original artwork a visual abundance and variety that makes it endlessly engaging, each animal offering its own colour combination and character within the shared language of Kala Bai Shyam's striped, woven-pattern technique. The warm palette of green, pink, blue and brown creates a colour harmony that is both cheerful and sophisticated, the interlocking horizontal lines building a textural richness across every surface. As a piece of handcrafted Indian art, every creature was painted entirely by hand, every stripe and colour block placed with the deliberate care of a master practitioner. This painting holds exceptional appeal as distinctive wall art for contemporary home decor, particularly in spaces that welcome warmth, colour and personality, and as a collectible of enduring cultural significance within the Gond tribal painting tradition, available on Rooftop. Why This Artwork Stands Out ### Every creature is painted entirely by hand by Kala Bai Shyam, with each of the eight animals individually patterned, making this a unique original artwork of remarkable handcrafted detail. The bestiary-style composition of eight distinct forest creatures creates a visually abundant and engaging work that rewards repeated viewing. The warm, cheerful palette and expressive animal faces give the painting a charm and personality that enlivens any wall art arrangement or home decor setting.

Birds on a Tree

A blue tree rises at the centre of this handmade painting by Kala Bai Shyam, its trunk patterned with small leaf-like marks in green, red and purple, its branches spreading outward in a graceful, asymmetric canopy that hosts a gathering of birds in muted pinks, browns and ochres. The birds are rendered with fine, wavy line work that gives each one a rippled, feathered texture, their bodies perched, resting and nesting among the branches and the pale green and yellow leaves that fill the spaces between them. At the base of the tree, a large woodpecker-like bird clings to the trunk with a vivid, striped body, while a smaller cross-hatched bird stands on the ground nearby, its posture alert and watchful. Painted in acrylic on paper against a warm peach ground, the composition presents the tree as the centre of a small avian world, a gathering place where every branch holds a different creature and every branch tells a different part of the same story. The cool blue of the trunk against the warm pinks and browns of the birds creates a colour harmony that is gentle and inviting, the muted tones giving this original artwork a quality of quiet refinement that distinguishes it from more intensely chromatic tribal art. Kala Bai Shyam's fine line work builds every surface with a patience and consistency that is the hallmark of the Gond tradition, the rippled patterns on the birds and the delicate leaf marks on the trunk each drawn individually by hand. As a piece of handcrafted Indian art, every branch, bird and leaf was created entirely by hand, carrying the irreplaceable warmth and authenticity of the truly handmade. This painting holds beautiful appeal as distinctive wall art for contemporary home decor and as a collectible of enduring cultural significance within the Gond tribal painting tradition, available on Rooftop. Why This Artwork Stands Out ### Every bird, branch and trunk marking is drawn entirely by hand by Kala Bai Shyam, ensuring this is a genuine one-of-a-kind original artwork. The gathering of multiple bird species around a single tree creates a rich, narrative composition rooted in the Gond tradition's deep connection with forest ecology. The gentle palette of blue, pink, brown and ochre gives the work a refined, understated elegance suited to both contemporary and traditionally styled interiors. As an authentic Gond painting by a practising master artist, this artwork carries significant cultural relevance and enduring collectible value.

Lizards and Tortoise

Two large lizards tumble across this handmade painting by Ram Bai Tekam, their stout bodies rendered in alternating bands of red, ochre, purple and brown, each stripe filled with dense rows of short dash marks that give the creatures a heavily textured, almost armoured surface. The upper lizard stretches diagonally with limbs outstretched and splayed fingers, its single eye gazing forward with quiet alertness, while the second lizard curls beneath it in a complementary arc, its body a shade darker, its purple bands adding a cooler note to the warm palette. In the lower right corner, a small green tortoise completes the composition, its shell built from layered sections of bright and dark green dashes, its round eyes peering out with a patience that contrasts beautifully with the sprawling energy of the lizards above. Painted in acrylic on paper against a warm peach ground, the work presents three forest creatures with the directness and warmth that characterises the Gond tradition's relationship with the natural world. The earthy palette of red, ochre, purple and green gives this original artwork a grounded, organic warmth, the banded colour fields creating a visual rhythm across the composition that feels both decorative and structural. Ram Bai Tekam's dash-work technique builds every surface from thousands of individually drawn marks, each band of colour containing its own dense pattern of short horizontal lines that give the creatures their distinctive, woven texture. As a piece of handcrafted Indian art, every lizard, every tortoise shell segment and every dash was created entirely by hand, carrying an authenticity and individuality that printed reproductions cannot replicate.

Tribal Black Humans

Dark human figures climb, swing and play across a tall green tree in this handmade painting by Lado Bai, their small, energetic bodies dotted with white and coloured marks that give them a sparkling, animated presence. Two figures sit astride the topmost branches, one holding a stick, their legs dangling with casual ease. A third figure climbs the central trunk, while at the base two more figures swing on simple rope swings that hang from the lower branches, their bodies tilted with the momentum of motion. The tree itself is rendered as a single green stem with four horizontal branches, each decorated with multicoloured feather-like fronds in green, red, yellow and blue that spread outward like a pair of wings at every level. Painted in acrylic on paper, the composition transforms a tree into a vertical playground, a living structure that is not merely observed by its human inhabitants but physically occupied, climbed and celebrated. The contrast between the dark, dot-patterned figures and the colourful, feathery branches gives this original artwork a joyful, almost festive energy, the composition radiating movement and play from every level. The vertical arrangement guides the eye upward through the layers of activity, each tier of branches offering a new scene of human interaction with the tree. Lado Bai's hand is present in every figure, every swing and every multicoloured frond, confirming this as a handcrafted painting of complete authenticity. As a piece of Indian art, every element was created entirely by hand with no digital or mechanical intervention. This painting holds compelling appeal as distinctive wall art for contemporary home decor and as a culturally significant collectible that preserves the joyful, communal spirit of Bhil village life, available on Rooftop. Why This Artwork Stands Out ### Every figure, swing and branch is painted entirely by hand by Lado Bai, making this a unique original artwork with no mechanical reproduction involved. The playful, multi-tiered composition of figures climbing and swinging on a tree captures a joyful dimension of Bhil community life rarely seen in conventional tribal art. The colourful feathery branches against the dark human figures create a vibrant, festive visual contrast that enlivens any wall art arrangement or home decor setting. As an authentic Bhil painting celebrating the relationship between humans and nature, this artwork carries deep cultural significance and lasting collectible value.
