Rural India in its essence comes alive in this folk painting. The nicely decorated earthen hut and the trees nearby, the birds and the animals hovering around, aptly portray the actual proximity of rural India with nature and art. While a contented family of four sits casually at the porch of the hut, a group of people comprising men, women and children, make their usual move towards their work destinations. It is time for them to sow and plough, to build and sell. Bright natural colours have been used with the figures in profile. The simplicity of form coupled with the vivid details is pertinent to the theme of the painting. It is true India in truly Indian art.
