Abstract

The ‘Incredible India’ is known for its rich cultural heritage and diversification which comes from various strata of the Indian society. As we know India since ages have been a home for more than 2500 tribes and ethnic groups, a large part of India’s cultural diversity is etched in the varied art forms of the country’s indigenous people. We see that the contribution of the tribes is massive in the folk art of India which includes Dance, Drama, Music, Mask making, Carving, Basket making etc., out of these the most popular art form is “Paintings”of the tribal people because most of the tribes talk in monosyllabic languages but we see that they are more expressive through their paintings hence these paintings also act as a source to write and shape the history of communities.
