From thier hands to your home
What is Bankala?
Bankala comes from two words — Ban meaning forest, and Kala meaning art. Together, it signifies “the art of the forest”, a living expression of Jharkhand’s Adivasi communities.
Every motif, every brushstroke carries the rhythm of nature — animals, harvests, and rituals painted not just as decoration, but as tradition and memory. Bankala is where this timeless language of the tribes is preserved with respect and shared with the world.
