Sohrai and Khovar: A Geographical Study of Jharkhand

Author(s) Shruti khalkho, Arpana Premi Lina Oraon
Country India
Abstract This study explores the intricate relationship between geography, traditional art forms, and social empowerment in Jharkhand, India, focusing on the indigenous mural arts of Sohrai and Khovar. Situated in a state rich in tribal culture and natural resources, these art forms serve as vital expressions of creativity deeply intertwined with the agrarian and social lives of indigenous communities. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including fieldwork, interviews, and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping, the research highlights how the unique geographical features of Jharkhand shape the materials, motifs, and meanings of these art forms. Findings reveal that Sohrai and Khovar art not only reflect the region's ecological diversity but also play a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage, fostering community identity, and promoting sustainable practices. Additionally, the study emphasizes the social empowerment of tribal artisans, particularly women, through the commercialization of these art forms. By showcasing the profound connections between geography, culture, and social dynamics, this research underscores the importance of preserving traditional practices as a means to maintain cultural integrity and advance social resilience within Jharkhand's indigenous communities.
