Artisan Vidushini crafts a cheerful and charming journal from handmade paper, adorned with traditional Madhubani art depicting a colorful peacock. Madhubani painting was traditionally done by women on freshly plastered mud walls and floors of huts, but are now also done on cloth, handmade paper and canvas. Madhubani paintings mostly depict the beauty of nature and scenes from the ancient epics. Natural objects like the sun, the moon, animals and plants are also widely painted, along with scenes from the royal court. Traditionally, this style of painting was one of the skills passed down from generation to generation in families of the Mithila Region. The spiral-bound journal features 40 unlined pages.

The painting is of the highest quality, on lovely heavy paper. I am having it matted and framed, and cannot wait to hang it in our home. The deep red background and simple black and white foreground combine to make the painting elegant and beautiful. The concept itself, of Shiva and Parvati joined as one, is unmatched in beauty. To have it manifested with such skill will be appreciated every single day. Thank you so much for sharing this art with us.
