Gond Painting is a traditional form of folk art practiced by the Gond tribe in central India, particularly in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. This art form is characterized by vibrant colors and intricate patterns, often depicting themes from nature, mythology, and daily life. The paintings are typically created on walls, floors, and handmade paper using natural pigments derived from minerals, plants, and charcoal.
The Gond artists use a unique technique of dotting and line work to create detailed images that tell stories and convey cultural beliefs. Gond paintings are not only a means of artistic expression but also serve to preserve the rich heritage and traditions of the Gond community.
