Saura

A tribal art form from eastern India, Saura art started out with its ritualistic beginnings on the walls of village homes, to become one of the most beautiful art forms of our nation. The Sauras are one of India’s oldest tribes, inhabiting the southern part of Odisha they are known for their distinct tribal culture and their art.

A tribe that is deeply connected to nature, their art on the surface seems to be a simplistic depiction of everyday village life. The art of the Sauras is rich with symbolism and meaning for it is through these images and their interpretation that the Saura people hold on to their customs and culture.
