A Few Very Famous Art Forms
Madhubani Painting
Also known as Mithila Painting, Madhubani is an art form that originated in the Madhubani district of Bihar.
It is not a modern art form, Madhubani Paintings have been in practice since Satya Yuga (in Hinduism there are four yugas, and Satya Yuga is the first of all four and lasted for 1,728,000 years).
These paintings are mostly practiced by women and they use geometrical shapes in the paintings. Madhubani paintings are devoted to god, flora, and fauna.
There is often a representation of god surrounded by women, trees, and nature in this art.
This illustrates their desire to be one with the god self.
Gond Painting
One of the largest tribes in India, the Gond tribe of Madhya Pradesh, originated Gond painting 1,400 years ago. This traditional art form appears as a gift from the Gonds to nature, depicting only flora and fauna. The components are made using acrylic paints today, but earlier, artisans used colors derived from leaves, cow dung, plant sap, and colored soil.

Rajput Painting
Rajput painting, also known as Rajasthani art, was popular in the 17th century in Rajputana, a region in northern India.
Artists trained in the Mughal miniature tradition, who were expelled from the royal Mughal court, developed styles inspired by regional painting traditions, particularly depictions of the Hindu epics Mahabharata and Ramayana.
The paintings covered various subjects, including royal family portraits—often depicting hunting scenes or daily life—episodes from Hindu mythology, and stylized depictions of unknown figures, which were widely admired.
Colors were extracted from processed minerals, plant sources, shellfish, and precious stones, with silver and gold also being used.
