Biography
Biography
She used to earn money by selling compost, firewood, and nuts from the forest. Her artistic style has been compared to that of Jangarh Singh Shyam, who was Gond. After painting on canvas and paper, she also used other media such as clay, metal, and wood; her grandson made masks which she painted. She was inspired by local Baiga motifs such as the mahua tree. Her paintings have been exhibited in Bhopal, Delhi, Milan, and Paris. In 2022, she received the Nari Shakti Puraskar in recognition of her achievements. Subsequently, she was awarded the Padma Shri in Arts by the Government of India in 2023. Baiga died following a prolonged illness in Lorha, Umaria district, on 15 December 2024, at the age of 86.
