The Marriage Doli

Sold by

Sugaiya Devi

Description

The Marriage Doli by Sugiya Devi captures the vibrant spirit of a traditional wedding procession through the distinctive vocabulary of Khovar art. The composition centers on a symbolic bridal doli (palanquin), surrounded by figures joyfully engaged in the celebration. Their animated gestures, framed by rhythmic floral and fish motifs, reflect the deep cultural connection between ritual, community, and nature.

Rendered in earthy tones of black, red, and yellow, the painting exudes both movement and emotion. The artist’s linear precision and symbolic detailing bring to life the essence of festivity, fertility, and togetherness that define village celebrations. This piece stands as a lively visual record of indigenous marriage traditions, where art and ceremony are deeply intertwined.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

  • A vivid portrayal of traditional tribal marriage festivitie
  • Created using natural pigments on handmade paper
  • Reflects Sugiya Devi’s expressive storytelling through Khovar symbolism
  • A culturally rich piece from the Justin Imam Collection
