The Process
In Nepal, the tradition is known as Mithila art; in India, closely related practice is often called Madhubani painting, centred in Madhubani, Bihar. Our artists prepare surfaces, outline stories with natural pigments, layer colour, and finish each piece by hand — whether on paper, fabric, or object.
Surface & sketch
Handmade paper, prepared fabric, or canvas is sized. Motifs are lightly drawn in natural ink or charcoal.
Line & rhythm
Fine contour lines define figures, lotus, fish, and borders — the visual grammar of Janakpur and Madhubani schools.
Colour from earth
Pigments from minerals, plants, and soot are mixed with binder; layers stay luminous without heavy varnish.
Finish & care
Textiles are heat-set where needed; works on paper are dried flat and packed with acid-free tissue.
