The painting "Haldi Grinders" by Amrita Sher-Gil depicts 7 women grinding turmeric with stone grinders under a tree. Painted in 1940, it shows the routine work and burden of life for Indian women through their dark expressions and covered bodies in traditional dress. The painting is influenced by Pahari and Rajput miniatures in its use of facial profiles, colors like brown, yellow, orange and red, and depiction of a tree.
