CHECK OUT INDIAN TRIBES AND THEIR ARTWORKS

Regardless of wether you travel on a climbing excursion in the Himalayan region or a beach vacation in  you will undoubtedly see some of the region's tribes. Unlike leisure scapers, explorers who travel to India in search of the native shades of the country endeavour deep into the Indian tribal chapters to photograph their way of life and art.

         The tribal art forms a unique alley in the Indian handicraft industry. Further, their culinary book holds a savoury page in the Indian tribal tour brochure. But the most interesting part comes when you experience festivals like the Hornbill Festival in Nagaland, Keshai Khaity Festival in Assam, Disum Sendra in West Bengal, Bhagoria Haat Festival in Madhya Pradesh, Baneshwar Fair in Rajasthan, Sammakka Saralamma Jatara in Andhra Pradesh, Kokan Festival in Maharashtra, and Thulappathu Festival in Kerala. All together the tribal tour in India truly offers a contrasting itinerary and takes you to an intense world as you pass through the popular tourist destinations in India.

1. Warli Tribe





             The Warli or Varli are an indigenous tribe (Adivasi) of western India, living in mountainous as well as coastal areas along the Maharashtra-Gujarat border and surrounding areas. They have their own animistic beliefs, life, customs and traditions, and as a result of acculturation they have adopted many Hindu beliefs. The Warli speak the unwritten Varli language which belongs to the southern zone of the Indo-Aryan languages.

Their extremely rudimentary wall paintings use a very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle and a square. Their paintings were monosyllabic. The circle and triangle come from their observation of nature, the circle representing the sun and the moon, the triangle derived from mountains and pointed trees.

      The ritual paintings are usually done inside the huts. The walls are made of a mixture of branches, earth and cow dung, making a Red Ochre background for the wall paintings. The Warli use only white for their paintings. Their white pigment is a mixture of rice paste and water with gum as a binding. They use a bamboo stick chewed at the end to make it as supple as a paintbrush. The wall paintings are done only for special occasions such as weddings or harvests. 





This beautiful work of painting is handmade by the warli tribes. This painting shows the culture of the warli tribe’s festival. Each painting is uniquely hand-painted on canvas using organic colors

2.   Gond Tribe 




               The Gondi  or Gond  are a Dravidian ethno-linguistic group. They are one of the largest groups in India.They are spread over the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,[Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha. They are listed as a Scheduled Tribe for the purpose of India's system of reservation.
The Gondi language is related to Telugu. The 2011 Census of India recorded about 2.98 million Gondi speakers, concentrated in southeastern Madhya Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra, southern Chhattisgarh, and northern Telangana. Most Gonds, however, speak regional languages like Hindi, Odia and Marathi.

       Amongst the Gond people, painting and other forms of expressive art are a popular and traditional practice. Dating back to more than 1400 years ago, the Gond tribe has painted and carved art on the walls of caves which all belong to the Mesolithic Period. The Gonds believe that viewing good images brought in good luck. Thus, traditionally, they painted motifs, tattoos, and images on the floors and walls of their houses. Their paintings are also a means to record and pass on historical knowledge and teachings. The Pardhan Gonds are extremely skilled artists who are renowned for their paintings and music.




The work of Gond artists is rooted in their folk tales and culture, and thus story-telling is a strong element of every painting.

3. DHOKRA TRIBE


       Dhokra Damar tribes are the main traditional metalsmiths of West Bengal and Odisha. Their technique of lost wax casting is named after their tribe, hence Dhokra metal casting. The tribe extends from Jharkhand to West Bengal and Odisha; members are distant cousins of the Chhattisgarh Dhokras. A few hundred years ago, the Dhokras of Central and Eastern India traveled south as far as Kerala and north as far as Rajasthan and hence are now found all over India. Dhokra, or Dokra, craft from Dwariapur, West Bengal, is popular. Recently Adilabad Dokra from Telangana got Geographical Indicator tag in 2018.

Dhokra ART is non–ferrous metal casting using the lost-wax casting technique. This sort of metal casting has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used. The product of dhokra artisans are in great demand in domestic and foreign markets because of primitive simplicity, enchanting folk motifs and forceful form. Dhokra horses, elephants, peacocks, owls, religious images, measuring bowls, and lamp caskets etc., are highly appreciated.
