As a member of the Gond art community, my lifelong aspiration has been to illuminate the world of Gond art. I envisioned creating a film that captures the authenticity of Gond artists and their enchanting world, characterized by its beauty, hardships, struggles, and unwavering passion. This film became a reality with the participation of Artists Banwali and Rajumari, who continue to reside in the village and uphold the traditional way of life, endeavoring to carry forward the artistic legacy established by the legendary Gond artist Late Shri Jangarh Singh Shyam.
