The small and almost inconspicuous village of Pinguli, located near Kudal in Maharashtra’s Konkan district has been home to paramparik kalakars or traditional folk artists of the Thakar Adivasi community from mid-18th century onwards. The art, which has been handed down the generations traditionally from father to the eldest son of the family received Rajashraya or patronage from Raja Khemsawant Bhosale of the erstwhile princely state of Sawantwadi.
