🌾 The Origin of Sohrai

Sohrai paintings trace their roots to the Sohrai harvest festival, celebrated after Diwali. Traditionally, women decorate the mud walls of their homes to honor the cattle, the harvest, and Mother Earth, praying for prosperity and abundance in the year ahead.

🎨 How Sohrai is Made

Artisans use natural pigments derived from earth, stone, and plants – red ochre, kaolin white, black manganese, and yellow clay. Brushes are made from chewed twigs and rice stalks, keeping the art completely eco-friendly and organic. The paintings depict animals, birds, flowers, and everyday tribal life, symbolizing fertility, harmony, and gratitude.
