Lacquer Wooden Boat Or Nauka Vihar Naav for Home Decor

Like a scene from a folk tale painted into reality, this Lacquer Wooden Boat—known lovingly as Nauka Vihar Naav—carries the spirit of Indian craft traditions on its vibrant hull. The piece is carved by hand in the shape of a small boat, decorated with detailed folk patterns and flower trails and painted in colors so intense they felt like colors in a Holi festival still in motion. The peacock figure is at the back, standing tall, wings open mid-spread, painted in deep blues and soft pinks like old palace-style murals. The elephant carved at the front gave it a sense of whimsey and authority—not to mention this piece was as much a celebration as decorated object d'art. Easy to display on a console, in a living space, or a festive corner, it comes with stories, waiting for residents and guests who stop and stare.
