Bright Wall Art

Bright — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. 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 Lakhara priest-painter opens the sacred wall by drawing the sun and the moon — the first marks that orient the cosmos before the gods, the wedding and the earthly world are added below. Amber and Jaipur are the refined Rajput court schools, known for terrace-pavilion gatherings and durbar refinement. This contemporary fusion borrows that rooftop-terrace grammar for Makar Sankranti, the mid-January festival marking the sun's northward turn, when Rajasthan and neighbouring states fill the sky with kites flown from the roofs.
