Madhubani, the art of the kohbar
In Mithila the kohbar — the room of the newly-weds — is painted for the wedding: fish, turtles, bamboo, a ring of lotus. This invitation is painted in that Madhubani style.
Every painting draws itself in black ink as guests scroll, then fills with colour, and your names are written into the kohbar's lotus.
Sent as a link, it reaches Darbhanga, Patna and Delhi on the same evening.
How Kohbar opens
Every Madhubani painting draws itself in ink as guests scroll, then fills with colour — two fish round the family's name, your names in the kohbar's lotus.
- 01
Two fish round the family's name
On blank handmade paper an ink line draws two fish curving into a ring, colour floods in, and inside it: the family's name and शुभ विवाह.
- 02
The kohbar draws itself
Lotus ring, bamboo, fish, turtle, parrots — drawn in ink as guests scroll, then filled with colour, your names written in the lotus.
- 03
Photos sketched in ink
Each of your photos is drawn first as an ink sketch, then soaks into colour.
- 04
Every ceremony, a painting
Brass pots of turmeric, two henna hands, a dholak among peacocks, a bamboo mandap, two elephants — each ceremony's painting with its details written in.
- 05
The lotus of days
A Madhubani lotus that colours in, petal by petal, as the day comes nearer.
- 06
A fish for every wish
Every wish swims as a fish in a painted pond, and the invitation ends with a tree of life growing from its roots.

Questions families ask
Is it real Madhubani painting?
It is painted in the Madhubani style — black ink lines, bright colour — and drawn line by line as guests scroll. It is made for Invitetale, not hand-painted by a Mithila artist.
Is it right for a Maithil wedding?
Yes, and for any Bihari wedding: the kohbar, the fish and the lotus belong to Mithila, and the words are yours.
Can we name the ceremonies our way?
Yes. Rename any ceremony — Tilak, Matkor, Kohbar — or add one of your own beside the haldi, the mehendi and the wedding.
Can it show the auspicious time?
Yes: "The auspicious moment is at 9:40 pm; please be seated by 9:15", with the evening's programme in order.
What does it cost?
Free to make, free to change. ₹1,999 once when the invitation goes out to your families.
