Gujarat’s Pithora painting receives GI tag

Gujarat’s Pithora painting received a Geographical Indication tag in July 2026, recognizing its distinctive cultural heritage. The traditional tribal wall art is mainly associated with the Rathwa community and is widely practised in the Panchmahal and Chhota Udaipur districts of Gujarat. The paintings depict Pithora De, a tribal deity linked with prosperity, marriage, and well-being, and are created on walls and courtyards of homes, often with ritual significance. The GI status is expected to boost livelihoods for rural artisans through tourism, local marketing, and better protection against imitation. State cultural departments say the recognition will help preserve motifs, color schemes, and storytelling traditions for future generations.
