History of Saura Painting
The Sauras are one of India’s oldest tribes, with a history that has been mentioned in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The art of the Sauras is rich with symbolism and meaning, and it is through these images and their interpretation that the Saura people hold on to their customs and culture.
For the Sauras, whose language does not have a script, their art is a record of their history, their philosophy and religious practices. Traditionally, it was only priests who could make these wall-paintings. They would also explain their meanings to the village-folk, passing on their tribal customs and culture in a unique oral tradition.
