Santal women create the most exquisite art on their mud walls in preparation for their harvest festival, Sohrai. Here are excerpts from the documentation of Sohrai wall art of the Santals put together in a video. The documentation was done by Daricha Foundation under a grant from the Anthropological Survey of India. The camera and post production team comprised Dhritiman Das, Moinak Bose, Saheb Ram Tudu, Ratnaboli Bose and Ronit Biswas. Local support was provided by Bimal Baskey. The original film was later translated to Santali, courtesy Saheb Ram Tudu, who was also the subject matter expert.
