Know about Madhubani Art
🤔The history of Madhubani paintings dates back to the days of Ramayana
The history of Madhubani paintings dates back to the time of Ramayana when king Janaka asked an artist to capture the wedding of his daughter Sita with prince Rama. He commissioned craftsmen to decorate the entire kingdom with Madhubani art on the auspicious occasion of his daughter's marriage. That's one of the earliest mentions of Madhubani paintings that can be found in ancient scriptures and text.
🤔Madhubani Paintings have 5 distinct styles to delight our eyes
Madhubani art has five distinctive styles - Bharni, Katchni, Tantrik, Godna, and Kohbar. In ancient times, Bharni, Kachni and Tantrik style were done by Brahman and Kayastha women, who were considered 'upper caste.' Their themes were mainly religious and depicted Gods and Goddesses, flora and fauna. People belonging to lower castes including aspects of their daily life and symbols into their paintings. Nowadays, Madhubani has become a globalised art form. There is no difference in the work of different artists of different regions or castes.
🤔Madhubani paintings are done using different kinds of everyday materials.
In past, Madhubani painting was done using fingers, twigs. Now, matchsticks and pen nibs are also used. Usually, bright colours are used in these paintings with an outline made from rice paste as its framework. These paintings rarely have any blank spaces. Borders are often embellished with geometric and floral patterns. These paintings use natural dyes. For example, Madhubani paintings in black and white often use charcoal and soot for the black colour.
🤔Madhubani art is characterised by symbols and figures
Madhubani paintings are characterised by figures that are prominently outlined, like bulging fish-like eyes and pointed noses. The themes of Madhubani paintings usually include natural elements like fish, birds, animals, turtle, sun, moon, bamboo trees and flowers, like a lotus. Love, valour, devotion, fertility, and prosperity are often symbolized by geometric patterns, which is another important feature of this art form.

Today, this artwork can be found on an international platform on mediums like cloth, paper, canvas, paper-mache products, etc.
