Settling Calm Wall Art

Settling Calm — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Saura (also Sora or Saora) is one of the oldest Adivasi communities of southern Odisha; the Lanjia Saura sub-group of the Rayagada and Gajapati hills are known for their ritual wall paintings, called ikon or idital, painted by a kuranmaran (shaman-priest) in white rice paste on the deep-maroon inner wall of a house to honour deities and ancestors. Sun, moon and star motifs crown many Saura panels, sharing the wall with horses, fields, dancers and houses — the heavens and the daily world held together.
