Madhubani Painting - Madhubani painting, originating from Bihar, India, is a traditional folk art known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Artists use natural dyes and depict Hindu mythology, nature, and daily life scenes. The paintings often feature bold outlines and geometric shapes, creating a unique and visually striking style. Madhubani art has gained international recognition for its cultural richness and storytelling through vivid visuals.

Ganesh Ji : Auspicious Beginnings and Protective Presence : Lord Ganesha is frequently depicted as a symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity.  Ganesha's presence is invoked for good fortune, especially at the start of new ventures or during religious ceremonies. Artists render him with his characteristic elephant head, often adorned with a 'tilak' on his forehead and his single tusk. The portrayals typically highlight his attributes, such as a 'modak', symbolizing wisdom's rewards, or an 'ankush', representing control over desires.

You can attend live Zoom sessions where you interact with the master artist and other participants, learning not only the art form in depth but also more about the culture of the region.
