Description: This vibrant composition captures the essence of tribal celebration and daily life in layers—like chapters of a story told through line and rhythm. The topmost layer features a sacred motif resembling a mandala, possibly symbolizing unity or cosmic harmony. Beneath it, couples stand hand in hand amid birds and trees, representing love, partnership, and coexistence with nature. Below that, a row of dancers in synchronized motion celebrates joy and tradition. The lowest panel depicts daily labor and music-making—two pillars of communal life. Altogether, the artwork reflects the cycle of life rooted in tradition, labor, festivity, and spiritual order.
