Overview

Madhubani paintings, which dates back to 2500 years and originated in the Mithila region of Bihar border of Indian and Nepal, is the most internationally acclaimed Indian Folk Art. Origin of Madhubani can be traced back to the Ramayana era. Mythologically in epic Ramayana, king of Mithila, Raja Janak, during his daughter Sita's marriage with Lord Ram, instructed women artists to decorate royal courtyard with magnificent Madhubani paintings.

Over centuries the women of Mithila, kept the art form alive by decorating their house's floor and wall to seek God’s blessing in the form of fortune, prosperity and peace. Let's learn drawing the famous marriage scene of Ram-Sita in Madhubani with intricate motifs, symbolism and vibrant colours, from a National Award winner artist - Hema devi from Mithila.

Veena Kanuga Most of us have admired and appreciated folk art and other forms of painting. However it was the management of 50+ Voyagers that encouraged us to try our handsat painting. Thanks to 50+ Voyagers team , the LOCKDOWN was made an uplifting experience by educating us in the techniques of various artforms, be it Mandala ,Warli , Madhubani, Gond Folk Art. They engaged us in formats we have never dreamed of even experimenting - coffee painting, travel sketching and most recently Acrylic and watercolor painting. Our young talented mentors deserve a big hug from us for being so patient with us. I hope we did not disappoint you 😉. Looking forward to many more interesting sessions.
