Snake Dance

Snake Dance, a Sohrai painting by Putli Ganju, captures three serpents in fluid, intertwining motion. Using natural earth colours red, blue, black, and white, the artist creates a strong sense of rhythm and harmony. In the Sohrai tradition, the serpent is a symbol of fertility, protection, and renewal, deeply tied to the agricultural cycle and worship of nature. The lines flow confidently across the surface, combining precision with spontaneity, hallmarks of the Sohrai art form passed through generations of women artists.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• A traditional Sohrai composition where colour, rhythm, and form express harmony with nature. • Painted with natural earth pigments and organic materials. • The serpent motif reflects the tribal belief in fertility and divine protection. • A meaningful addition for collectors of Indian tribal and folk art.

This artwork brings the living pulse of Sohrai tradition into a modern space, carrying with it the spirit of renewal and the quiet power of the earth.
