Abstract

The study titled "Transforming Khovar Wall Paintings into Fabric: Revitalizing a Vanishing Tribal Art of India" aimed to integrate traditional Khovar wall paintings into modern fabric designs. The research began with review of Khovar painting history, followed by the collection and categorization of various motifs. These motifs were then adapted using applique work and hand painting techniques to create a range of living area fabrics. A total of 30 designs were developed using Corel Draw software and displayed on walls for evaluation. Different fabrics were assessed to determine the most suitable material for the designs. Fabric samples were created based onthe 2023-24 color forecast. A market survey conducted in Chandigarh revealed that shopkeepers found the living area range to be innovative and unique, and consumer feedback was highly positive, with many appreciating the exclusivity and distinctiveness of the Khovar motifs.
