Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Pithora painting is a ritualistic folk art form practised mainly by the Bhil and Bhilala tribes of Madhya Pradesh (and the Rathwa tribe of eastern Gujarat). The Bhils worship a deity called 'Pithora' (Babo Pithora), and these sacred wall paintings of horses and scenes are made on the walls of their homes during ceremonies and festivals. Hence, Pithora painting is associated with the Bhil tribal community.
