Rimil, the Santali word for cloud, lends its name to a composition rooted in the living world of Sohrai — where birds, animals and vegetation inhabit a shared pictorial landscape.

A peahen occupies the chest pocket, while across the upper back, a peacock and peahen, stag and doe, and vegetation come together within hand-painted borders. The imagery draws from the broader visual vocabulary of Sohrai, the wall-painting tradition of Jharkhand closely associated with the post-harvest Sohrai observance, cattle and the agrarian world.

Like a cloud passing over a landscape without belonging to a single element within it, Rimil becomes a quiet name for the world gathered beneath it. Here, the painted language traditionally carried by earthen walls is translated onto linen, while irregularities of line, proportion and brush movement remain evidence of the 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.
