Story Behind the Art:
Vidushini says, 'I come from Bihar, where Madhubani painting originated. After receiving a post graduate degree in chemistry, I went into teaching. I started to paint after I had my first baby. Though I have not had any formal training, it was not difficult. I have inherited it from my culture, and take pride in it. One day I would like to venture into different media and themes.'

The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
