Bharati, Dayal

Madhubani Art: Indian Art Series - New Delhi Niyogi Books 2016 - 105

Madhubani art's origin is believed to go back to the ancient era of the Ramayana, when the town was decorated by inhabitants of the region for the wedding of Lord Rama and Sita with elaborate wall paintings and murals. The philosophy of Madhubani art is essentially based on the principle of dualism. The artscape appears inundated with divine deities, the sun and moon, and flora and fauna along with features found in Buddhism, Islamic Sufism, tantric symbols and classical Hinduism. This instalment of the Museum of Sacred Art's Indian Art Series studies Madhubani art.
