Jiwi, the Santali word for life, finds its expression here through a landscape inhabited across land, water and vegetation.

The composition unfolds across two distinct areas on the right front of the shirt. Deer appear amid flowering vegetation in the upper section, while the larger composition below brings together fish, a turtle and plant life within a hand-painted border. A bird on the chest pocket extends this landscape across the garment. Together, these forms give Jiwi its meaning—not as a name placed upon the artwork, but as an expression of life existing in different forms within a shared natural world.

This interconnected vocabulary of animals, birds and vegetation belongs to the broader pictorial language of Sohrai, the wall-painting tradition of Jharkhand, closely associated with an agrarian world, the post-harvest Sohrai observance and cattle. On Jiwi, this visual language moves from the wall to linen while retaining the irregularities of line, proportion and gesture inherent to work executed by hand.

Sohrai is an Indigenous mural-painting tradition associated with Jharkhand, particularly the Hazaribagh region and neighbouring centres of artistic practice. Traditionally created on the earthen walls of homes, Sohrai painting is closely connected with the harvest season, cattle and the relationship between human life and the natural world. The tradition is recognised for its rhythmic lines, layered forms and the use of natural earth and mineral pigments.

Animals, birds, trees, plants and geometric forms frequently appear within its visual language. Characterised by bold silhouettes, fluid movement and instinctive mark-making, Sohrai art reflects close observation of the living landscape and knowledge carried through generations of artisan practitioners.

The artworks presented here are contemporary hand-painted works executed by artisan practitioners associated with the living tradition of Sohrai art in Jharkhand and adapted for garments developed by The House of Rule Zero. They are created as original works on garments and should not be understood as historical reproductions, traditional ceremonial paintings or documentary recreations of Sohrai murals.

Product imagery is captured under natural lighting conditions to represent the object as faithfully as possible. Variations in ambient light, photographic interpretation, device displays and screen settings may result in slight differences between the colour shown online and the actual product.

Hand-painted pigments and embroidery threads may also appear differently under changing light conditions owing to the nature of the materials and fibres used in their creation.

Each piece is individually hand painted and may contain subtle variations in brushwork, line quality, paint density and motif execution. These characteristics arise through the movement of the artist’s hand and form part of the individuality of the object. They should not be considered defects.

Certain images may be digitally rendered to illustrate styling, context, scale or garment presentation. While every effort is made to faithfully represent the artwork, construction and character of the object, minor differences in colour, texture, drape or appearance may exist between rendered imagery and the physical product.

Clients seeking further examination of the object may request additional photographs of the garment and its handcrafted details.
