The hunt is all about patience. The men have no option but to wait for the animal to emerge. In addition to sticks, Santhali hunters use unique bows and arrows as their hunting tools. The painting is a creative expression of the Santal / Santhal tribe's reverence for Mother Nature as they are sustained by forests and by hunting.
