Gond painting is a traditional art of the Gond tribal community, one of India’s largest indigenous tribes. Originating in Madhya Pradesh, the art was initially ritualistic, painted on walls and floors during festivals, harvests, and religious ceremonies. Over time, these sacred patterns moved from mud walls to paper and canvas, becoming a recognised contemporary tribal art form. The style is deeply connected to nature, folklore, and the community’s belief that paintings bring good luck and protect the home.
