This hand-painted Sohrai artwork captures a single peacock in full display, its magnificent tail fanning out in a cascade of finely detailed feathered strands. The bird stands proudly beside a dark, graceful tree with drooping branches, while a decorative dot-and-wave border frames the entire scene. Bold horizontal stripes in ochre, sienna, and black give the peacock a vibrant, commanding presence on the natural wood panel.
Sohrai painting is one of India's oldest mural art forms, originating from the Hazaribagh region of Jharkhand. Traditionally painted on the mud walls of homes during the harvest festival of Sohrai, the art celebrates the bond between humans, animals, and nature. The peacock is one of the most revered motifs in Sohrai tradition, symbolising beauty, rain, and renewal. Artists use natural pigments and hand-carved tools to create each composition, and the intricate tail feathering in this piece showcases the remarkable skill and patience of the artisan.
Whether you are looking for a dramatic centrepiece or a culturally rich gift, this painting commands attention while telling a story of heritage and craftsmanship. By choosing this artwork, you directly support indigenous artists preserving a tradition that stretches back thousands of years.
