Saora Pictographs
| Title: | Saora Pictographs | | Author: | Elwin, Verrier | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 2 Issue no. 3, p. 35-44 | | Abstract: | The tradition of painting on walls and floors for festive and religious purposes is widespread in India, but the pictographs of the Saora tribe of Central India and Orissa are said to be also inspired by specific motives: improving fertility, appeasing the gods, averting trouble and sickness, and honouring the dead. Drawings of each type are illustrated and explained, supported by anecdotes and incidents. The relationship between art and religion is evident in these drawings.
