The picture-casting sketches recall the ideas of devotion, humility, and the quest for enlightenment which dominate their belief system. The usage of bold strokes with bright colours evokes a sense of kinetic movement and emotional depth. The placement of the devotees in the foreground represents human dependence on the spiritual realm for guidance, and the harvesting women symbolize toil for existence amidst the chorus of nature.
Art is an important part of Khampti life, expressing stories and spiritual teachings. Such sketches are usually found in monasteries, homes, and communal buildings, ensuring that the traditions will be passed on in time to come. Thus, the coloured sketch is a reflection of faith, culture, and of life as it is daily lived by the Khampti people.
