Gauranga carved in wood by artisans of the Sutradhar tribe is an exciting example of devotional folk art based on the culture of West Bengal. Gauranga, or Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, is said to have been a saint and one of the key names in Bhakti Movement for all his teachings regarding love, devotion, and universal brotherhood. This type of object in wood is carved out of a single block of wood, showing the craftsmanship of the Sutradhar community in the entire field of woodcraft. The statue stands on a triangular pedestal, which symbolically represents all divine stability and trinity with respect to creation, preservation, and annihilation in Hindu philosophy. The pose of the hands above shows ecstatic devotional dance (sankirtan), through which Gauranga proclaimed his message of loving the Lord Krishna.

The figure is entirely painted yellow-green, the characteristic colors associated with sacredness and life. More specifically, yellow is a color of great significance, suggesting purity and spiritual energy-by implication, focused on saints and ascetics; while green connotes life and rejuvenation; both of these speak the meanings behind Gauranga. They are names from the Sutradhar tribe meaning that of 'narrator' or 'holder of stories' who employs wooden carving as a visual tool to depict mythological and sacred subjects. These carvings stand not merely as artistic expressions in their own right but as narratives in themselves that uphold the ethos of religion and culture of that land.
