About
A ritual mural art painted directly onto mud house walls by tribal women using natural earth pigments and their fingers, comb-cut tools, or twigs rather than brushes.
Did you know? Sohrai Khovar artists paint almost entirely with their fingers and improvised tools like twigs or worn combs — actual paintbrushes are rarely used, giving the finished murals their distinctively textured, hand-worked look.
