About This Item

• Authentic Indigenous Artwork:
  This handcrafted wood burning artwork portrays a traditional Garo woman straining rice beer, a centuries-old cultural practice of the A·chik (Garo) people of Northeast India.

• Handcrafted Using Traditional Techniques:
  Created using the ancient art of wood burning (pyrography), the piece features fine detailing, natural wood textures, and warm earthy tones that highlight the grace, dignity, and everyday life of Garo women.

• Cultural Heritage Preserved in Wood:
  More than décor, this artwork tells a cultural story—celebrating indigenous knowledge, rituals, and sustainable living practices passed down through generations.

• Created by Renowned Indigenous Artists:
  This artwork is a creation of Mandi Art, a Garo Hills–based artistic collective dedicated to preserving and promoting indigenous heritage through art. The collective is widely known for traditional wood burning, painting, carving, and handcrafted products made from locally sourced materials.

• Rooted in Living Tradition:
  Mandi Art is also recognized for constructing traditional Garo structures such as Nokachik (traditional house) and Nokpante (bachelors’ dormitory), making their work deeply connected to living culture, not imitation.
