This painting has been done by the Saura tribe of Orissa. It portrays an ordinary Indian morning. Small clay huts with thatched roofs are elaborately decorated with images from Indian mythology and day-to-day life. Just like art, nature too is present in all things Indian. Birds and monkeys, trees and clouds are prominent not only in this particular painting but also on the painted walls depicted within the pictorial frame. Women are seen busy drawing water from the village well. It is interesting to note the complete absence of any male figure. India being primarily an agricultural society, the men of the village can be assumed to have gone to the fields. The figures are in profile and red, green, and yellow are the dominant colors.
