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 Bhajju ShyamDilip Shyam of Patangarh, Madhya Pradesh left his village to look for a job in the city as an artist, but he soon realized how difficult that is.
