Govardhan Pooja

Celebrate the beauty of tradition, devotion, and rural life through ""Govardhan Pooja"" by Sharad Meda, a captivating piece of Bhil tribal art. Rich with cultural symbolism, this artwork brings to life the ritual of Govardhan Pooja (the worship of cows), an important festival in many Indian communities that honors cows and nature’s bounty. In Bhil tradition, cows are not only sacred but are also vital to the agrarian way of life nurturing families through sustenance, strength, and spiritual meaning.During this festival next day to Diwali people of the tribe get together to honour their cattle. Vibrant with decorations the worship is offered to the cows who are considered to be an important part of their family.

At the center of this composition stand six vibrantly adorned cows, decorated with circular dot motifs in vivid shades of red, green, and yellow. Nearby, a hen rests beside a coconut and vessel symbols of ritual offerings while three male figures conduct the ceremony with focused reverence. In the background, three additional figures quietly observe, emphasizing the communal nature of worship.

Sharad Meda uses distinctive Bhil techniques, especially precise dot work and earthy colors, to portray this moment of faith and togetherness. This artwork is a stunning representation of how the Bhil community’s stories, rituals, and respect for nature are preserved through visual art.
