Madhubani painting

मधुबनी चित्रकला

This Class 10 Art Education topic introduces Madhubani painting, the vibrant folk art tradition of the Mithila region in India. Students explore its cultural origins, ritual and everyday themes, symbolic motifs, bold outlines, flat colour fields, pattern, symmetry, and storytelling. They learn how artists use repeated forms, nature-inspired elements, and traditional compositions to express identity and community life, while considering how the art has evolved across materials and contemporary practice. The topic places Madhubani within the wider study of Indian Folk Art.
