Description

Kerala's Oachira Cattle Festival is one of the state's most striking traditions — thousands of decorated cattle paraded as an offering of gratitude and prosperity. This wall piece takes inspiration from that celebration, along with the symbolism of the Nandi bull, and renders it as a hand-carved, hand-painted cow head finished in a warm yellow ochre.

The head is carved from solid Mango wood and painted with motifs drawn fromMadhubani art, giving a traditionally rustic subject a more refined, artisanal finish. The ears are detachable and fitted on separately once the piece is mounted, making it easier to package and transport without damage. A hook on the back means it's ready to hang as soon as it's assembled.

At 15 inches in height, and 15 inches wide with the ears attached, it holds a strong presence on a wall without overwhelming the space — well suited to a living room, entryway, or as a warm accent among neutral-toned interiors. This is a decorative piece rather than a devotional one, though the Nandi symbolism of faith, luck, and honour still carries through.

For NRI households, this is a piece that blends a specific regional festival tradition with a widely loved decorative motif, making it a versatile gift for a housewarming or as a standout addition to an eclectic wall of Indian art.

Material: Mango Wood, hand-painted

Dimensions: 15" height, 5" width without ears, 15" width with ears
