Chalk White Wall Art

Chalk White — 50 museum-grade prints in this palette. Pithora is the ritual wall-painting tradition of the Rathwa, Bhil and Bhilala Adivasi communities of Chhota Udepur in eastern Gujarat (and the adjoining belt of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan). The wall is vowed to Babo Pithoro and painted on the inner wall of the home as thanksgiving or to fulfil a wish; only the Lakhara — the priest-painter, also called the Gor — may execute the sacred wall, working to the chants of the badva.
