Madhubani painting, also known as Mithila art, is a traditional folk art form that originated in the Mithila region of Bihar and is known for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns and distinctive line work.
Traditionally created by women on the walls and floors of homes, the art often depicts Hindu deities, nature, animals, geometric patterns and scenes from everyday life. Over generations, Madhubani has evolved from a household tradition into a celebrated art form recognized worldwide while retaining its strong connection to India's cultural and spiritual heritage.
The workshop will offer members of the wider community a chance to experience Indian culture through art and creativity.
