In this workshop, participants will learn about the origins of Madhubani painting and its deep connection to mythology, nature, festivals, rituals, and everyday life. We will look at how this art form has been passed down through generations and how stories are brought to life through patterns, colours, and symbols.
Participants will create their own Madhubani-inspired artwork using traditional motifs such as flowers, birds, fish, trees, borders, and decorative patterns. The workshop will encourage everyone to add their own personal interpretation, making each artwork unique.

The session is designed to be relaxed, enjoyable, and meaningful, giving everyone the chance to connect with Indian folk art through creativity and storytelling.
