The Jhabua district in Madhya Pradesh may be drought-prone and economically backward, but this tribal-dominated region is home to many talented Bhil artists including the famous, contemporary artist Bhuri Bai, her son Sher Singh, and Ram Singh. Deeply rooted in their cultural heritage and reflecting the tribal way of life, their distinctive art is now gaining popularity across the country. Starting today, Mumbai, too, can witness their works, which are a part of the exhibit titled 'Painted prayers from the Bhil imagination' at Artisans' in association with the Tata Centre for Technology & Design, IIT Bombay.'
