These are images from RRR and I was curious about getting some context to these Indian tribal iconographies. After doing a bit of research I found that these were similar to Gond painting, the tribal art form from Madhya Pradesh. 

The Gond tribe, one of central India’s largest indigenous communities, expresses their daily life’s essence through art. Rooted in the belief that “viewing a good image begets good luck”, Gond art traditionally adorned houses and floors with tattoos and motifs. Evolving onto paper, worn goods, canvas, Gondi art captivates with vibrant hues, embodying the language of the soul (not exactly the case in RRR). The tribal art’s signature styles, intricate lines, dots, and dashes, define the individualism of each Gond artist. J. Swaminathan, a pioneer, introduced the world to the traditional Gond Pradhan motifs, discovered through the talented Jangarh Singh Shyam. Jangarh’s meteoric rise, marked by exhibitions in Paris and Tokyo, ended tragically with his suicide. Yet, his legacy lives on through his mentored family, who continue the artistic brilliance, ushering in a new generation of Shyams. The resurgence of Gond art on paper and canvas preserves the profound cultural expressions and creativity of the Gond tribal community. 

This iconography is obviously a nod to the tribal themes covered throughout RRR.
