Answer

Hi guys

here is your answer ................

The Gonds are said to be the largest tribal, or Adivasi Community in India, with a population of nearly 8 million. While a precise history or a date of origin cannot be traced, the community’s roots can be traced back to the pre-Aryan age. Belonging largely to Deccan India, the Gond community has settled in regions spanning across northern Andhra Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and western Orissa.

It is a common belief in the Gond community that a good image can earn good luck. This belief is visible in the houses of the community. Brightly painted walls, windows and even floors, replete with traditional icons and motifs are a common sight.  

Around the early 1980s, certain Pardhan Gonds began transforming and representing their rituals into a new tradition of figurative and narrative visual art while using a variety of modern mediums such as acrylic paint on canvas, ink on paper, silkscreen prints among others. The stunning range of visual narrative depicts a variety of themes and stories. From mythological tales and oral histories to traditional songs, natural surroundings, important events, and rituals, the Gond Artists recreate the past with intense mastery of technique and profound intricacy.  

Gond paintings are known for their rich detail, bright colours, embedded mystery and a taste of humour. However, these tribal artworks are anything but outdated. Not only do contemporary Gond artists use modern materials and methods but they also brilliantly represent contemporary scenes and concerns while keeping true to age-old traditions and style.
