Tikuli Painting Wall Hanging (Square)

Tikuli art is an unique art form from Bihar, which has a very rich and deep traditional history. Having its origins in Patna city, this ancient craft of the Mughal times, involved melting glass, adding colors, tracing patterns out of it and embellishing it with gold-leaves and gems to create the “Tikuli” or bindi. Now a days instead of adoring foreheads of Indian women, tikulis are adorning drawing-room walls and tables. This painting is done on the glazed surface of hardboard plates. The illustrations in the paintings depict Indian culture and mythology like Ramayana, Mahabharta and other epics which is similar to mithila/madhubani painting
