From the end 1920s, Jamini Roy rejected the European oil medium and began to use traditional pigments from vegetable and mineral sources and the imagery was drawn from village life. He invested the peasants, artisans, followers of religious cults, village women and adivasis with immense dignity. He represented in his paintings what they held sacred. He painted from folk tales and narratives that permeated the rural consciousness.
