The Madhubani Collection

Fresco
Madhubani is a folk painting done by hands, twigs pen nibs and matchsticks with natural colors and dyes. This art has its roots in the Mithila region, hence it is also known as Mithila art or Mithila Painting.
Traditionally done by women in the villages of Bihar, the designs and aesthetics of Madhubani paintings have long been an inspiration for many fabric designs.
One can easily identify this rich craft because of its characteristic colorful geometric designs, Madhubani designs essentially depict scenes of royal courtyard, and Indian weddings, marriages and symbols of fertility and prosperity with dominance of motifs like fish, parrot, elephant, turtle, sun, moon, bamboo tree, lotus, etc.
This mini collection of seamless patterns draws inspiration from the intricate and vibrant Madhubani motifs with a slight twist of symmetry and textures.
Thank you!
