Its impact had largely revolutionized the colonization of human groups and found a new way of cultural tradition. Few of the traditional communities in the world still maintain this tradition as their occupation. Here we offer a description of the pottery making tradition of the local “Prajapati” community of Central Gujarat and the techniques utilise by them in their day to day life. They inherited the technology of pottery making from their forefathers. The method of procuring the raw materials, processing of the same and ultimately ending up with a final product take large of their energy that has been depicted here with vivid description.

Indian art and painting is believed to be emerged from the prehistoric and proto-historic rock paintings. The genesis of tribal painting showed a direct correlation with the pre and proto-historic rock art. They are lively and vibrant tradition and unveil the hidden meaning of tribal symbol and are a manifestation of cultural expression. In Rajasthan, tribal population since time immemorial offered a rich variety of art and painting which would provide a deep insight into their traditional culture. It reflects the reality of living, pattern of culture, philosophy of life besides extensive reflection of memory and geographic mosaic. In the present paper an attempt has been made to discuss the painting tradition of the four major tribal communities of Rajasthan viz., Bhil, Garasia, Mina and Saharia in the context of continuity and change. The paper also unveils commonness and distinctiveness of painting tradition among the four tribal groups of Rajasthan.
