    • Meet Rajendra Singh Chauhan... This Adivasi tribesman is a 3rd generation wood carver who now lives in the old village of Khajuraho...

Their belief systems combine a kind of very old shamanistic animistic formula with the later incursion of Vedic Hindu deities and beliefs brought in by the Indo-Aryan group...

From what I have come to understand, the various manifestations of this goddess relate directly to the phases of martial conquest that have taken place in the region throughout the millenia wherein the original indigenous tribes of India were later invaded by the Dravidians and still later again by the Indo-Aryans... This poster, with its incredibly vivid colors and surreal imagery, was the centerpiece of the Adivasi tribesman's home decor...
