    Question

    Koli

    B.

    Bhil

    C.

    Baiga

    D.

    Gond

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Bhil 

    Explanation:
    Pithora painting is a famous traditional art form primarily associated with the Bhil and Bhilala tribes of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
    • The paintings are ritualistic and typically done on the walls of homes to mark a special occasion or fulfill a vow to a deity (Pithora Dev).
    • They are considered auspicious and are believed to bring peace, prosperity, and good fortune to the household.
    • The artists (known as likhinda or pithoro) use natural colors and focus on vibrant depictions of horses, deities, and daily life.
    • The style is unique and reflects the rich cultural heritage and mythology of the Bhil community, the largest tribal group in MP. 

    Information Booster:
    • Pithora paintings often feature horses as a dominant motif.
    • The art form has gained national and international recognition for its rustic beauty and cultural depth. 

    Additional Knowledge:
    (a) Koli: A tribe found in parts of Maharashtra and Gujarat, known for different art forms.
    (c) Baiga: Known for their distinct tattoo culture and specific art related to their lifestyle, but Pithora is primarily Bhil.
    (d) Gond: Famous for Gond art, which is different in style and theme from Pithora painting (often done on canvas or paper today, less ritualistic wall painting).
