Village of Mahua Tribe

‘The Village of Mahua Tribe’ by Ram Singh Bhabhor shows the everyday life of people from the Mahua tribe. Showcasing the intricate details of Bhil art, the artist portrays a scene where a large Mahua tree is the centre of attention. In central India, the Mahua tree holds significant cultural and economic importance for the tribal communities.

The tree is also deeply ingrained in their spiritual beliefs and practices, with some tribes revering it as a divine entity. In this painting, a branch, filled with blossoming flowers and fruits, perched with birds and monkeys in bright hues of blue, lies fallen on the ground. Villagers with their baskets stand atop the branch and gather the Mahua fruits. Peacocks, deer, and cows surrounding little houses add to the beauty of the scene while the vibrant orange background makes the blue and yellow colours pop.
