Feast of the Forest by Sajhwa Devi

Sold by

Sajhwa Devi

Description

Feast of the Forest' by Sajhwa Devi shows a wild creature in motion, its body marked with rhythmic patterns that recall both the stripes of an animal and the grain of earth itself. The surrounding shapes, perhaps fish or forest beings, add to the sense of liveliness. The red and black natural pigments lend a primal energy to the scene, making it both raw and composed.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• Drawn in the Sohrai tradition celebrating the animal world and nature’s cycle.
• Simple yet expressive linework that captures wild motion.
• Ideal for those drawn to organic forms and indigenous Indian expression.
• Preserves the living heritage of Hazaribagh’s women artists.

It’s a work that brings the pulse of the forest into any modern space.

What is Sohrai painting?
Sohrai is a famous festival in Jharkhand, when the Sohrai artform flourishes. The harvest festival celebrates the end of monsoon, with paintings by women with multiple colours like red, black and white. It is a traditional practice, continuing from hundreds of years ago, even today, to celebrate harvest, soil fertility and food.
Is this painting handmade?
Yes. Indian Art Paintings on Rooftop, including Guardians of the Grove, are handpainted by master artists across the country.
Do artists get Royalty for their paintings?
Yes, absolutely! At Rooftop, we believe in supporting our artists and preserving traditional Indian art. Each time a painting is sold, the artist receives a fair share of the proceeds. We also collaborate directly with artists to ensure they are compensated for their skill, time, and cultural contributions. By purchasing this painting from Rooftop, you are not only acquiring a beautiful piece of art but also helping to sustain the livelihoods of talented Indian artisans like Juliet.
How should I care for the painting?
Keep Guardians of the Grove away from direct sunlight and humidity. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and frame the piece to preserve its surface and colour.
