About this piece

A village in full festival

Men and women dance shoulder to shoulder to the beat of the dhol and madol, birds and fish caught up in the movement, under a flowering tree. Festival scenes like this are among the patuas’ favourite subjects — a celebration of the harvest and the community that brings it in.

The patua grinds the colours by hand — turmeric yellow, lamp black, clay reds and leaf greens — and binds them with the gum of the bel fruit. The scenes are drawn freehand, filled in flat colour and finished with bold black outlines. Each painting is one of a kind; small differences from the photograph are the mark of the hand.

Hang indoors away from damp and direct sunlight, which fade natural pigments. Dust the frame and glass with a dry soft cloth; never spray cleaner directly onto the glass.

Framed pieces are corner-guarded and boxed, and ship across India and worldwide. Because each painting is unique, a repeat of the same design is painted to order in 3–4 weeks and will vary slightly.
