The Mithila Painting, or Madhubani painting, is India’s recognized traditional art form. Celebrating India’s cultural heritage across the globe, the Mithila painting survived and was revived through changes that served social and economic demands. The visual theme of the painting is one of the adaptations. Among all the visual narratives painted in Madhubani, Kohbar Ghar is the oldest indigenous painting mentioned in most books and articles. It also represents Madhubani’s paintings in museums and regional craft galleries. Still alive and practiced in the Mithila community, it is considered an auspicious ritual. Bringing all the adopted forms of Kohbar, the study seeks to decode the cultural symbolism of vivid visual narrative. Kohbar of Madhubani paintings collected from books, museums, archive photographs, painted ritual walls, and bazaars were visually analyzed to record the changes. Further, seeking the importance of Kohbar in the community, signs, and symbols used were identified and decoded with the help of compositional interpretation and semiotics method based on Gillian Rose Visual analysis framework. The derived methodology helps to study Kohbar Ghar’s compositional and social modalities. The study enables the extended patrons of Madhubani painting to understand and relate to the cultural heritage of the Mithila community. It holds the moment for practitioners to reconnect with the community’s shared beliefs, imbibing the cultural appropriateness of products developed with Madhubani painting for a responsive design for society in today’s world of globalization and commercialization.
