They decorated their houses with traditional patterns and bhittichitra (a composition of animals and plants) during festive occasions. Body tattooing or gudna was yet another form of their creative expression in this tribe. Gond art is not merely decoration, but the living expressions of a people harmoniously linked with their day to day lives.About Durga BaiDurga was six years old when sitting beside her mother, she learnt the art ofï¾  digna, the traditional designs painted on the walls by Gond tribe. Today, the most striking feature of Durga Baiï¾’s paintings is her ability to tell a story. Her forms are mostly drawn from the pantheon of the Gond Pardhan community. Durga Baiï¾’s work is rooted in her birthplace, Burbaspur, a village in the Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh, India.Please Note: This painting comes without a frame.
