historical life of India. The paintings are created with acrylic on handmade paper using fine
nibs to create intricate and detailed motifs by traditional Madhubani artists, predominantly
women, from Bihar, India. The unique art form is handed down through generations. These
Indian paintings have been popular in the USA notably the Ford Foundation which has a
strong association with them as well as Japan which set up the Mithila Museum in
