Centuries old, this art is done mainly by the females of the family, and is a part of the daily ritual. It is believed that every morning the gods come invisibly to the household to bless the members of the family and to bring more prosperity. So this art started as a daily welcome painting for the Gods by decorating the outside of the house, the walls or the floor.
The walls and floors of the house were coated with cow dung and mud paste. When it dried it gave a perfect dark background to the bright paintings done with white rice paste. The diluted cow dung is also a natural antiseptic which is why it is valued as a floor and wall covering anyway - regardless of whether any one was going to paint on it!
There are three types of Madhubani painting.
1.Brahmin Style
2.Tatoo Style
3.Kshatriya Style
I have painted one in each style using Indian ink with the help of a nib pen.[scroll up to see my paintings. Brahmin style - Krishna; Tatoo style - design in concentric circles; Kshtriya style - three Suns].

Simply superb! You are gifted with this wonderful talent. Keep it up. God bless you .
I especially like the one with the tree and the fish. Beautiful work!
I happened to visit your blog by accident. Really amazing talent. Love the way you have painted the Warli in Madhubani style. Recently I have developed an interest in indian folk arts and it opened a whole new world. It's so good to see someone who has explored and put all the styles in one blog with explainations.
Wish you all the best.
