About the artform:
Sohrai painting is a mural art tradition practiced by women in the Hazaribagh district of Jarkhand. It was traditionally done to decorate the hut walls during the harvest festivals using limited number of natural pigments.
Sohrai is prevalent in about 13 villages of Hazaribagh district. Many of the designs may be compared with prehistoric rock art and pottery markings and prehistoric seal motifs from Harappa. Sohrai is intrinsically similar to great wall painting traditions and trace itself to the prehistoric rockart of Hazaribagh. The upper valley of the river Damodar in Jharkhand is almost exclusively the last remaining stronghold of Sohrai art in the eastern India.
Most of the colours used for the paintings are derived from mud. The red is derived from iron oxide and the black comes from a manganese-rich clay found in certain hilly areas. The creamy white colour is kaolin and called dudhi matti.

In this season we take up 5 least known styles of Hazaribagh Sohrai paintings namely Asur, Munda, Agriya, Santhal and Ghatwal. We also study the history and cultural relevance of the Sohrai paintings and the practicing tribes.
