Beiga Mukhota

Description
The Baiga tribe faces several challenges in maintaining the authenticity of the Mukhota's design and use, including the loss of traditional knowledge due to generational gaps, the influence of modernity and outside cultures, and the diminishing availability of materials needed for crafting the masks. Additionally, the commercialization of tribal art can lead to simplified designs, further distancing the Mukhota from its original cultural and spiritual significance.
