Madhubani - Art from a Sacred Land, Story of Dulari Devi

Mithila was a huge kingdom its king was janak and his daughter was sita who was also as vaidehi and maithaei the term mithla is derived from 'maithali' it's the name of the region where we live the art from began here so it's called mithila or madhubani painting .

When she was 12 year old always attached to art since her childhood and used to observed her mother and aunt doing painting . Then she got married and learn more about art from her mother - in - law jagdamba devi and also from her husband satyanarayan . Madhubani is a very special art from it's from of hidden expression an quite happy working with few artist because she think over a period you also invest and learned about them and circumstance and that's very important to know when you are in the art .

This is a traditional art people belive it has exited since the era of the ramayan janak ji wanted to decorated the whole kingdom for sita ji wedding so everyon started painting this madhubani art on their walls . She starting creating madubani paintings from a very young age . She was born in madhubani started working in IT , in recruitment but then she realized that take more interest in this art study it seriously .

madhubani is a art from that uses naturel colours mostly from leave and flowers , eash flower each leaf has separate clours to give she make clour from bougainvillea raw turmeric whatever she find in surrounding place while extacting colours they keep two thing in mind one never pluck flower and secondly they don't buy them either there are three themes in madhubani paintings first is religious secound is social and third is natural for religions themes they depict goddesses like durga puja for social they draw whatever they see in society or community castly for natural themes that recreate forests mountains and rivers .

She love nature it has everything like birds animals trees so she make her art sitting there in shadow of tree in mithial paintings we always draw two lines or double lines between those lines there is is a thin line called "kachni" and when there colour filled in between thin lines it is called "bharni" .

It is believed that these two lines represent shiv and shakti whose union resulted in the creation of the universe the nice thing about this art is that it was largly a womens preserve and then so special because the work refiect a lot off the famenets in their and offcourse their are many lagacy associated with including the special chobargar where her mother in law butify the room with sembols of fatility to welcome the daughter in law .

She don't just make madubani art but she lived in these paintings it's like a prayer for her a form of meditation madhubani resides in her a form of meditation madhubani resides in her soul so in the art form intrestingly it is a void of some off the problem in india which is comes in terms of astha thinks so inicially their was a form that was mostly the preserve in the bharaman household .
