The Murias are a group of Adivasi or indigenous people who belong to the Bastar district of Cha sgarh, in central India. The Murias used to paint on the walls of their Ghotul - a village dormitory for unmarried girls and boys, where they learn the ways of life and about the traditions and ways of their tribe.
Muria pain ngs began to appear in the urban art market only recently. These pain ngs by young ar sts - with a sensibility and aesthetic that is deeply rooted in their traditions - are not ritual pain ngs but a depiction of the life and culture of the Muria tribe.
