Description

A Sunny Family' by Sunita Kumari presents a calm and balanced composition rooted in the Khovar tradition of Jharkhand. The work features three stylized flowers painted in natural tones of red, yellow, and black, their forms outlined with confident, freehand lines. The use of blue hearts and small leaf patterns along the border adds warmth and rhythm to the piece. Each element is deliberate, created using earth-based pigments that connect the work to its origins, to the walls of tribal homes where such motifs once carried blessings for newlyweds. Sunita’s painting continues that tradition on paper, preserving both its design and quiet purpose.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • Made with natural, locally sourced pigments on handmade paper.
  • Reflects the matrilineal heritage of Khovar art practiced by women in Jharkhand.
  • Balanced use of geometric floral motifs and organic lines gives it visual depth.
  • Represents an authentic link between ritual, nature, and everyday life.

A thoughtful choice for collectors who value traditional Indian art forms and understated design rooted in culture.

What is special about Khovar painting?
Khovar Painting is a tribal painting tradition prominent in the villages of Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh district. Traditionally created to adorn the wedding room of a bride and groom, Khovar itself means 'bridal chamber'. The painting is done in monochrome, using a white and black sgraffito technique to symbolize the womb and fertility for a nuptial chamber, much like A Sunny Family by Sunita Kumari.
Is this painting handmade?
Yes. Indian Art Paintings on Rooftop, including A Sunny Family, are handpainted by master artists across the country.
Do artists get Royalty for their paintings?
Yes, absolutely! At Rooftop, we believe in supporting our artists and preserving traditional Indian art. Each time a painting is sold, the artist receives a fair share of the proceeds. We also collaborate directly with artists to ensure they are compensated for their skill, time, and cultural contributions. By purchasing this painting from Rooftop, you are not only acquiring a beautiful piece of art but also helping to sustain the livelihoods of talented Indian artisans like Sunita Kumari.
How should I care for the painting?
Keep the painting away from direct sunlight and humidity. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and frame the piece to preserve its surface and colour.
