Q. What does "Kohbar" mean in Kohbar painting?
Answer: Married couple in cave
Notes: Kohbar painting originates from Jharkhand's tribal art. The term "Kohbar" combines "Koh" meaning cave and "bar" meaning bridegroom, symbolizing the nuptial chamber as a cave-like room. These paintings are created on walls during wedding rituals to bless the couple. The artwork includes fertility motifs such as bamboo, elephants, turtles, peacocks, and lotuses. Kohbar paintings are traditionally done by the bride’s mother using earth and clay as base materials and are linked to post-monsoon celebrations among Hazaribagh tribes.
