Wedding Warm Wall Art

Wedding Warm — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Kohbar — also called Puren in some Maithila villages — is the Madhubani style reserved for the bridal chamber (kohbar ghar), painted by women of the household to bless a new marriage with fertility, prosperity, and harmonious union. Unlike Bharni festival deity panels or Kayastha Kachni line work, Kohbar carries a fixed iconographic checklist: bamboo for male lineage and proliferating family lines, lotus for feminine life force, fish (matsya) for fertility and abundance, sun and moon for cosmic balance, birds such as peacocks for beauty and auspicious presence. Kohbar — also called puren in Kayastha households — is the Madhubani style tied to the nuptial chamber (kohbar ghar) where Maithil bride and groom traditionally spend their first nights after marriage. Before painting begins, women coat the central wall with mud and cow dung, then perform tip lagavaichi — placing a vermillion sindoor dot at the composition centre, often by an ahibati (married woman whose husband lives).
