Women Cooking in Kurumba Art by Saraswati Kannan

Saraswati Kannan's Kurumba painting transports viewers into a tranquil village scene, where tribal women engage in the timeless ritual of collecting and cooking grains, echoing the storytelling traditions found in Warli art. Each figure in the composition contributes to the rhythmic flow of daily life, emphasizing the harmony and interconnectedness between human activity and the natural world. Like Warli art, Kurumba paintings celebrate the simplicity and beauty of village existence, depicting scenes that resonate with universal themes of community, sustenance, and coexistence with nature.
Kurumba art has its roots in the Kurumba tribe of the Nilgiri hills in Tamil Nadu, India. Traditionally, Kurumba paintings were created using natural materials such as charcoal and plant-based pigments, applied to surfaces like walls or canvas. The process of crafting Kurumba art involves intricate brushwork and storytelling techniques passed down through generations, reflecting the tribe's cultural heritage and spiritual connection to nature. Through Kurumba art, the tribe preserves its traditions and rituals, ensuring that their stories and customs continue to resonate with future generations.
