Pithora painting

Pithora painting is a ritual wall-painting tradition of the Rathwa, Bhil and Bhilala communities of eastern Gujarat and western Madhya Pradesh, India. Painted in bright colours on the inner walls of houses, often to fulfil a vow, the paintings show horses, riders, deities, animals and scenes of daily life, centred on the god Baba Pithora. They are made by men under the direction of a priest, accompanied by ritual and song.
