Pithora Paintings

  • The Aadharkaanch, Bhilala, and Rathwa tribes in central Madhya Pradesh are practitioners of pithora art.
  • This ritualistic art was created traditionally on walls. These paintings are thought to bring prosperity and tranquility into homes.
  • These artworks are an expression of gratitude to God for answering a prayer. Pithora artwork is now available for purchase as paintings or as embroidered items to cover pillows, linens, etc.
  • The greatest area to buy some is in the Alirajpur district’s Dehrikheda hamlet!
