Khovar Painting
Khovar Painting is a traditional art form originating from the Khovar region in Jharkhand, India. This unique style is characterized by intricate designs and vibrant colors, often depicting themes from nature, mythology, and daily life. The paintings are typically created on mud walls of homes, especially during festivals and special occasions, using natural pigments derived from local materials.
The technique involves the use of a paste made from clay and natural dyes, which artists apply with their hands or simple tools. Khovar Painting is not only a decorative art but also serves as a means of storytelling, preserving the cultural heritage of the Adivasi communities in the region.
