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.
The Majestic Peacock, a Symbol of Beauty and Prosperity: This Madhubani painting of a peacock embodies beauty, prosperity, and love. The peacock is shown with an elaborate circular display of feathers decorated with red heart-shaped motifs, representing joy and romance. Characteristic features of Madhubani style—bold outlines, fine detailing, repetitive patterns, and natural elements like leaves—enrich the composition. The use of limited colors, mainly black, white, and red, adds elegance and balance. In Madhubani tradition, the peacock is often linked with rain, celebration, and auspiciousness, making this painting a graceful expression of nature and festivity.

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.
