Puja Nook Adjacent Wall Art

Puja Nook Adjacent — 2 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. Bharni — "to fill" — is the Mithila colour-flood style historically associated with Brahmin women painters in Jitwarpur, Ranti, and Rasidpur; bold lampblack outlines enclose vermillion, turmeric, and palash orange fills on wedding walls and, after drought-relief paper programmes in the 1960s–70s, on handmade sheets for wider commerce. Contemporary Mithila artists have extended Bharni grammar to daily-life subjects — cycles, autos, trains, smartphones — while keeping horror vacui fill rules and double-outline discipline. Madhubani — Mithila painting from the Madhubani district and wider Mithila region of Bihar — traditionally adorned interior walls and floors during weddings, festivals, and seasonal rituals, with women artists using natural pigments (lamp black, geru ochre, indigo, turmeric, vermillion) and bamboo-tipped brushes. Kachni style emphasises fine line work and controlled hatching rather than the flat colour fills of Bharni; historically associated with intricate narrative and ceremonial restraint before colour was layered.
