Gond Painting Workshop by Sukhiram Maravi

Gond art is a famous folk art that originates from the Gond tribal communities of central India, primarily in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. This art form is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and depiction of flora, fauna, and mythological narratives. 

In Gond art, motifs often depict animals, birds, trees, and deities, intricately interconnected in a fluid and rhythmic manner. Each motif holds symbolic importance, reflecting the community's profound bond with nature and their belief in the interconnectedness of all life forms.

Join the renowned master artisan Sukhiram Maravi to learn about the art and make your own own Gond art.

The workshop is part of a 3 day festival KALAANGAN showcasing and supporting Indian artisans.
