There are a lot of Gond rituals around trees, too. Once a year, we celebrate and offer our prayers to the Saja tree, which holds great importance in our culture. First, we anoint, propitiate and offer food to our gods and goddesses(mostly the food prepared from the new harvest), and then we have it as prasad. In addition, the knowledge of treatment through different parts of the trees, the use of different types of woods for different purposes like for instruments, plough, houses, etc… have been passed across generations, and hence, a reflection of the same is seen in our painting.
