Tribal Handcrafts
Tribal Handcrafts blog has come a long way, writing about inspiring tribal and folk art forms present across this diverse land of India.
Indian Tribal Art Forms
With over 2,500 tribes and regional groupings, India’s cultural richness is reflected in the diverse forms of art created by the nation’s native population. These old art forms have witnessed transformations over time. Acrylics and inks have substituted natural dyes and pigments, and traditional artworks, which were mostly used to decorate home surfaces, are now depicted on canvasses.
