Solution (By Examveda Team)

Paitkar are one of the oldest tribal paintings in India and due to their appearance, they are also called scroll paintings. Artisans from the Paitkar community use natural colour and vermillion to paint on soiled or used papers. The hair of a goat or the help of a needle is taken to apply the colour. The essence of these paintings is found in the Garuda Purana.
