Madhubani Paintings

We offer wide range of madhubani paintings, which are drawn by experienced generation of artists. Our exquisite paintings are vibrant, symbolic and successfully depicts all aspects of tribal life. This paintings is the arch representative of folk art in visual form. These paintings are created by the people who have no formal or academic training, but from generation to generation, it has been handed down as a tradition of style and artisan ship. Madhubani paintings are the traditional paintings that are enriched by the folklore, myth, established epics and its local adaptations.










This water-color based painting depicts Lord Krishna blowing a 'Shankh' (Big Snail Shell) after watching the arrival of dark rain clouds marking the beginning of the Rainy season. His Female Admirers are seen standing near him. This painting is drawn in 'Rajput' Painting style. This style of painting dates back to 16th century and holds its origins in the Rajputana area (present day, Rajasthan, part-of-Gujarat, part-of-Punjab and part-of-Madhya Pradesh). Within this painting style there are different schools and most notable among them are Mewar School, Bundi-Kota kalam, Jaipur school, Bikaner school, Kishengarh school, Marwar school, and Raagamala style of painting. I am a big admirer of the Rajput Painting style due to its detail-intensive mannerisms. I have drawn a lot of paintings using this style. As far as this painting is concerned, the love the effect of rain showers in this one!
