Madhubani is one of India’s oldest art forms, and its origins can be traced to the Ramayana. Originating from the Mithila region in Bihar and Nepal, this art form has been passed down across generations. 

It usually included scenes of religious significance and weddings, but now includes social causes and folklore. A visual merchandiser by profession, Kavita Das (@mithila_palette), a graduate from NIFT New Delhi, has mastered the art of Madhubani from her ancestors who hail from Mithila and have practised it for generations. “The workshop will include lessons based on traditional techniques of making Madhubani art that I learnt from my family, and my  time at NIFT,” shares Das.
