about craft
Gond painting, originating from Patangarh in Madhya Pradesh, is celebrated for its intricate patterns inspired by nature, including animals, trees, and birds. A distinctive feature is the use of dots and lines to fill shapes. Traditionally, these paintings were done on walls using natural pigments, but today they are also created on paper and canvas.
