## Karigari Ki Kahani • The Provenance Story
In traditional folk folklore, the sacred Mahua and Banyan trees bridge the underworld, mortal life, and the celestial sphere. In this piece, birds nest in interlocking branches while deer, monkeys, and farmers share the bounty of the shade. Painted using traditional single-hair bamboo reed brushes over sun-cured earth.
