Gond is a form of painting practiced by one of the largest tribes of Central India, especially Madhya Pradesh. The Gonds can be traced to the pre Aryan era. What began as colourful paintings on their mud walls got transferred to canvas, making them a connoisseur's delight. The vibrant depictions of local flora, fauna and gods are rooted in folk tales and culture.

Gonds believe that Goddess of Forests 'Vandevi' protects them from all adversities. This painting shows Vandevi as a combination of human and animal figure.
