Description
The Forest Keepers by Putli Ganju, created in 2016, is a Sohrai painting that brings together animals, birds, and flowers in a lively, interconnected scene. Putli Ganju paints with precision and rhythm, her use of repeated motifs and natural pigments reveals the interdependence of all life forms. The work feels celebratory yet grounded, echoing the pulse of the forest and the traditions of the women who paint to honour it.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- A rare contemporary Sohrai piece showing ecological harmony.
- Symbolic layering of creatures representing fertility and protection.
- Beautiful interplay of geometry and organic form.
- Combines traditional technique with an accessible modern palette.
This painting feels alive with quiet joy, reminding us that the forest watches, protects, and endures.
