Drape yourself in the timeless artistry of Madhubani — one of India's most celebrated folk painting traditions, hand-painted by skilled artisans from Bihar onto luxurious Kosa silk.
Each dupatta is a one-of-a-kind canvas, featuring intricate motifs drawn from nature, mythology, and village life — painted entirely by hand using natural dyes and fine brushwork. No two pieces are alike.
❖ Product Highlights

❖ About Madhubani Art
Originating in the Mithila region of Bihar, Madhubani painting is a 2,500-year-old art form traditionally created by women on the walls of their homes. Recognised with a GI (Geographical Indication) tag, it is known for its bold lines, vibrant colours, and symbolic imagery drawn from Hindu epics, nature, and daily life.
