Fascinated by the folk art and indigenous modes of expression, Nandalal Bose incorporated these themes in his work with a unique stylized form in his representations and narratives of the local life. His work reflected changing landscapes, portraits of people, sketches from life and places at the time of changing outlook in the modern Indian cultural domain. His nature to explore the various materials and mediums allowed him to make a prolific body of work in different mediums. This painting in watercolors depicts the very indigenous theme where the Santhal people are shown dancing during the harvest season.
