Madhya Pradesh sits at India's geographic center and holds one of its largest tribal populations, including the Gond, whose painting tradition turns forest folklore and dreams into dense, dot-filled compositions.
Its forests are still lived in, not just visited — villages here farm, forage, and paint according to a calendar shaped by the same seasons their ancestors tracked.
