White Palsh Tree and Mangoose

The Baiga artwork White Palsh Tree and Mangoose symbolizes nature's harmony and interconnectedness. It depicts a white-barked tree and a mongoose in a relationship of mutual dependence—the tree provides food and shelter, while the mongoose offers protection. The tree represents life, death, and the sacred, linked to the goddess Sita, while the mongoose is seen as a divine messenger. Together, they embody the Baiga philosophy of duality, where opposing forces like creation and destruction coexist in balance. The artwork highlights the importance of maintaining harmony in nature, as all life forms are interconnected.
