Shaadi Chowk II

Shaadi Chowk II by Chandwa Devi represents the essence of sacred geometry in Khovar tradition. The painting reinterprets the symbolic chowk, a ritual design made on walls and floors during tribal marriage ceremonies. The central geometric star radiates outwards in rhythmic symmetry, surrounded by curling tendrils and fluid motifs that suggest growth and continuity.

Rendered entirely in natural black pigment, the work exudes a quiet spiritual energy. The surrounding bird forms watch over the sacred space, embodying protection and fertility. Chandwa Devi’s bold, intuitive strokes transform a ceremonial design into a timeless piece of visual storytelling, blending ritual significance with graceful abstraction.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• A refined depiction of the traditional tribal marriage space
• Features geometric and organic motifs symbolizing unity and protection
• Created with natural earth pigments on handmade paper
• A meditative piece that reflects Chandwa Devi’s deep connection to ritual art
