Experiencing Interruptions?

GONDAN in search of god's ink

From confusing the Yamaraja, the God of death and
justice or to protect from an evil eye. Jewelry for the
poor or becoming medicine for the diseased. From the head hunter in Nagaland in the east to The Rabari
women of Gujrat in the west. Tattoos (gudna) in Hindi played a diverse role in India’s Cultural History. The
objective of this project is to explore traditional and
contemporary tattoos in Maharastra, in relation to the stories behind the tattoo motifs, methods, and tools used by the artist. This attempt was made to understand the deeper meaning behind the tattoos through these stories.
