The elaborate carvings on these wood panels depict the daily life and practices of the Kutia Kond tribe of Orissa. The endearing images reveal the simplicity and directness of their lives, and the close symbiotic relationships they share with various parts of their eco-system. Simple activities like the sowing of crops, village market days and travelling to bazaars have been documented in this wonderfully naive panel.
