10 Specimens That Define The Grandeur of Indian Arts and Handicrafts

Madhubani, to prevent deforestation

One cannot help but admire the beauty of Madhubani or the Mithila paintings of Bihar. Bold usage of colors, message oriented designs depicting nature, festivals and several occasions, painted either by bare hands or twigs are main features of Madhubani. In 2012, Madhubani artists had beautifully painted the trees on highway 52 of Madhubani district to prevent deforestation and it was a success of course.

Tanjavur Paintings are not just about Hindu Gods

Paintings reflect the society and social practices; they represent people’s beliefs in general and changing lifestyles as well. Rightly so, artists back in 1600 AD observed the social beliefs of that age and wisely preserved them in the form of paintings. That is where Tanjore or Tanjavur paintings were quite helpful as they not only represent Hindu Gods and Goddesses but other faiths like Christianity, Jainism and Buddhism as well.
