Indigo Navy Wall Art

Indigo Navy — 4 museum-grade prints in this palette. Tantrik — from Tantra's ritual and yantra tradition — is one of five recognised Madhubani styles alongside Bharni, Kachni, Godna, and Kohbar, distinguished by sacred geometry, interlocking triangles, bindu-centred mandalas, and esoteric deity iconography rather than garden narrative or tattoo stipple. Navagraha — the nine celestial grahas Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Brihaspati, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, and Ketu — appear in Mithila Aripana floor art, Kohbar wedding walls, and temple folk panels as blessings from sun, moon, and planetary powers; Creative Mithila and village ritual documentation note their presence during Vat Savitri, Madhushravani, and post-wedding ceremonies alongside Surya and Chandrama. Madhubani — Mithila painting from the Mithila region of Bihar and adjoining Nepal — traditionally covered courtyard and interior walls for weddings, festivals, and seasonal rites, with knowledge passed matrilineally. Bharni, meaning to fill, is the Brahmin women's colour tradition within that corpus: bold black outlines enclosing saturated flat fields of vermillion, yellow, orange, blue, and green, historically depicting deities and mythological narratives on cow-dung-washed walls and later on handmade paper. Tantrik is one of five historically distinct Madhubani styles — alongside Bharni, Kachni, Godna, and Kohbar — traditionally associated with Brahmin women painters in the Mithila region and characterised by esoteric deities, yantras, and sacred geometry rather than daily-life narrative. Ganesha (Vinayaka, Vighnaharta) opens auspicious work — weddings, new businesses, festival installations — and yantra diagrams in tantric Mithila panels adapt temple and manuscript geometry to flat colour and bold folk contour.
