Handmade Madhubani Art

Madhubani Art is a style of Indian painting practiced in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. In the past, this style of painting was done using different kinds of everyday materials including twigs, matchsticks, and fingers. It uses natural dyes and pigments on the walls to decorate houses. Nowadays, it’s done with pens, nib-pens, and brushes; different kinds of paint are used too, such as acrylic. Madhubani art can be done on paper, canvases, and fabric. Madhubani paintings are characterized by figures that are prominently outlined, like bulging fish-like eyes and pointed noses. The themes of Madhubani paintings usually include natural elements like animals, the sun, the moon, bamboo trees, flowers, and more.

It all began as a hobby. Over the years, it became my passion. When? I don’t remember. Now, here I am, trying to turn my passion into my profession.
