Adorn yourself this 🌺Durga Puja 🌺 with the Majestic Madhubani Art.🎨🖌️

Being born and brought up in Mithila ( the cultural capital of Bihar) I am extremely proud and happy to share with you all the ancient form of this art which is still alive and not only that but in today's time it has reached out to the global stage as well. 

About Madhubani Art:-  It is the form of art that is originated in the Madhubani district of Bihar which comes under Darbhanga division. The painting is done with the variety of tools like twigs, fingers, matchstick and nib pens with the natural dyes obtained from plants. Most of the geometric patterns drawn in this art form are two dimensional and are inspired from Ramayana era . The origin of this art is more than 2500 years old and first started in the India Nepal border called Mithila region. The same place where Mata Sita was born hence Madhubani art is also termed as Mithila Art.

With the motto of 'Preserving art and promoting Artisans' a mother - daughter duo runs a handmade Madhubani art products boutique by the name of Geetanjali Boutique.
