Amongst the Rathwa Bhils of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, it is a common practice to install a deity at all auspicious times in the family like weddings etc., within the home in the form of a ritual wall-painting. These are called the Pithora Paintings because the subject is usually the wedding of the deity "Pithoro". These are done in a sacred enclosure and outside the enclosure, other similar paintings depicting incidents from daily life are also done featuring usually horses.
