According to lore, Radha and her friends prepared beautiful patterns on the ground with flowers in order to welcome Krishna as he returned from grazing his cows at dusk. Dusk, which is sandhya in Hindi, is from where the word Sanjhi has emerged. This ancient art is in danger of disappearing.

Paitkar art, indigenous to Jharkhand, is startlingly vibrant and tells stories of the times, culture, music and traditions of the Paitkar community. The scroll painting is famous for its natural colours that are made and preserved using traditional methods without any chemicals. Dating back to the Gupta dynasty, this art form is in decline.
