ManikChand Mahto, a master of traditional Khovar art, intricately captures the ephemeral beauty of jasmine flowers in varying stages of bloom with astonishing precision. In a monochromatic palette of black paint, Mahto skillfully depicts the delicate petals, capturing both the ethereal essence of half-bloomed blossoms and the full splendor of those in their prime. Each stroke of his brush reflects a deep understanding of form and contrast, breathing life into the canvas. Through his mastery of Khovar art, Mahto transports viewers to a realm where the simplicity of black and white unveils the timeless elegance of nature’s creations. 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.
