If you were travelling along the busy Mumbai-Goa highway, chances are you’ll completely miss the village of Pinguli.

But here’s why you shouldn’t.

Nestled amidst the lush Sahyadri hills, this village – for over 400 years – has been home to the Thakars, a tribe of painters, puppeteers and storytellers.

In the olden times, these skilled artists worked as spies for powerful Maratha kings such as Shivaji.

As they moved from village to village, door to door, narrating stories from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata through paintings and puppetry, they would pick up information and extract political information to pass on to the Maratha chiefs.

Interestingly, Chhatrapati Shivaji is believed to have christened the group “butterflies of the forest” because they would flit from one part of the forest to the other.

However, with time – as the power of the Maratha kings waned – the role of Thakar artists as spies came to a halt as well. With the art forms not generating as much income as before, tribe members began turning to other professions.

These rare art forms were dying a silent death until one artist, Parshuram Gangavane, decided to take matters in his own hands. In 2006, Gangavane the Thakar Adivasi Kala Aangan Museum and Art Gallery.

Three years later, the national award-winning folk artist was felicitated by the state government for his role in the preservation of folk arts. His sons, Chetan and Eknath, now aid him in his efforts. While the former has done a diploma in information technology, Eknath is an engineer – but both have decided to devote their time and efforts to the art of their community.

Today, Gangavane's museum offers a glimpse of the tribe’s traditional form of painting, done using natural colours – the chitrakathi. Myths and legends have been painted on tree trunks around the museum with immense dexterity, while the museum itself features chitrakathi paintings as old as 300 years old.
