Peacocks and Flowing Waters
Sold by

Description
Anita Devi’s 2014 Khovar piece called Peacocks and Flowing Waters pairs two peacocks framed by a flowing fish border, a motif that merges land and water, air and motion. The red tones within the peacocks stand out against the monochrome background, hinting at vitality within serenity. This composition celebrates cyclical life and coexistence, an enduring theme in Sohrai and Khovar traditions.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- Combines peacock and fish symbolism in a unified natural rhythm.
- Strong geometric balance with organic flow.
- Traditional black Khovar lines enhanced by subtle, warm colour accents.
- A striking example of folk minimalism meeting sacred design.
A perfect choice for collectors who value harmony in form and meaning—those drawn to art that bridges symbolism and visual calm.

What is special about Khovar painting?
Khovar Painting is a tribal painting tradition prominent in the villages of Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh district. It is traditionally created to adorn the wedding room of a bride and groom; Khovar itself meaning 'bridal chamber'.
