The artist's skillful hand brings forth a sense of regal splendor, capturing the majestic allure of these magnificent birds.

Khovar painting, a cherished tradition among indigenous and artisan communities in the Hazaribagh region of Jharkhand, Eastern India, adorns nuptial chambers with its vibrant hues. Serving as a hallmark of the wedding season commencing in January and stretching until the onset of the monsoon in June, Khovar paintings breathe life into the ambiance. The term "Khovar" finds its roots in the local dialect, where "kho" signifies chamber or cave, while "var" represents a married couple. Thus, these intricate murals not only embellish the space but also symbolize the union of two souls embarking on their journey together.
