Sohrai painting is a unique and captivating form of tribal art, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Jharkhand.
Sohrai paintings are made using all-natural materials that are locally sourced. The pigments used in the paintings are made from a mixture of soil, charcoal, and cow dung, while the brushes are crafted from twigs and stems of local plants.
The process of creating Sohrai paintings begins with preparing the surface of the walls and floors, which is done by smoothing and cleaning the mud surface. The pigments are then mixed and applied to the surface using the brushes. The artists use a variety of brush strokes to create the desired effects, and the paintings can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to complete. The pigments are applied to the surface in layers, with each layer adding depth and richness to the overall design.
