 Consider the following paragraph on Indian painting:

Women are mainly engaged in the creation of these paintings. These paintings do not depict mythological characters or image of deities but depict social life. Images of human beings and animals, along with scenes from daily life are created in a loose rhythmic pattern. Painted white on mud walls, they are pretty close to prehistoric cave paintings in execution and usually depict scenes of human figures engaged in activities like hunting, dancing, sowing and harvesting. Stylistically, they can be recognized by the fact that they are painted on an austere mud base using one colour, white, with occasional dots in red and yellow. This colour is obtained from grounding rice into a white powder.
The paragraph given above characterizes which one of the following folk and art form of India?
