Mokha is a popular endemic art of Tharu community of eastern Nepal. The women, especially from Morang, Sunsari, Saptari, Siraha and Udayapur districts of eastern Nepal, decorate their mud walls with beautiful floral and geometric patterns including birds and animals.[1][2]
Tharu houses are often built of bamboo-lattice with mud-plaster walls. The women daub the walls with mixture of clay from the pond, cow dung, rice bran and straw. Applying layers of clay, mixed with jute they come up with intricate designs floral and geometric patterns, parrots and peacocks, elephants and horses, among many other beautiful motifs, patterns around the windows and both sides of the doors.[3][4]
When the design dries, they apply a layer of white clay to it. Then they use natural colours to give them a facelift. Adding a little milk to the colours ensures they don't wear off quickly. This ingenious idea stops them from cracking in the future.[5]
The mokha art, also called Payar in Saptari, Siraha and Udayapur districts, are made and coloured during special occasions like marriage and festivals.[4]
