MATERIAL AND CARE
Provenance
Madhubani painting, also known as Mithila painting, originates from the ancient Mithila region of Bihar and is traditionally practiced as ceremonial folk art integrated into ritual and domestic life. Its cultural origin is associated with the Treta Yuga, when King Janaka is believed to have commissioned artists to decorate Mithila during the wedding of Sita and Lord Rama, establishing the tradition of sacred wall paintings as blessings of protection, prosperity, and destiny.
This composition unites two profound symbols within the Madhubani vocabulary — the Sun and the feminine form. The Sun, often depicted with a radiant face and encircling rays, represents life, energy, fertility, cosmic order, and divine constancy. Women, central to Mithila’s visual culture, embody creation, nurture, continuity, and guardianship of tradition. Together, they express balance between cosmic force and human life, illuminating the cyclical rhythm of existence.
Executed on paper using water and acrylic colours, the painting follows the non-rubbing tradition, where strokes are never erased, preserving ritual sanctity and artistic discipline. Dense linework, symmetrical structuring, and rhythmic repetition ensure that every surface is filled with symbolic intention — a hallmark of Madhubani aesthetics.
Recognised under Geographical Indication (GI Application No. 37) and awarded GI status in 2006–2007 as the 30th registered GI product of India, Madhubani painting remains protected in its regional authenticity. This artwork is painted by Ms Lakshmi, Mithila, sustaining the living lineage of this ceremonial art form.
