Model Answer

Sanjhi Painting

  • Sanjhi art is the traditional art of stenciling from Mathura, Krishna’s hometown.
  • During aspitri- paksha(the fortnight of the ancestors), young girls in Rajasthan emboss various motifs inside a parallelogram with four gateways, on the front walls of their houses.
  • These motifs are embossed in cow dung every day and are scraped off the next day. In their place, new motifs are drawn. This process is repeated every day till the end of pitri Paksha fortnight when the process of drawing a full-blown Sanjhi known as Kila-Kot (literally-fortified dwelling) begins.

Madhubani Painting

  • Kohbar painting has traditionally been done in the Maithil culture to bless a newlywed couple. These images represent fertility and love of life. Madhubani painting is also known as Mithila because it originated from the Mithila region in Bihar, India.

Pattachitra art form

  • Pattachitra art form is known for its intricate details as well as mythological narratives and folktales inscribed in it.
  • Some of the popular themes represented through this art form are Thia Badhia - a depiction of the temple of Jagannath; Krishna Lila - an enactment of Jagannath as Lord Krishna displaying his powers as a child; Panchamukhi - a depiction of Lord Ganesh as a five-headed deity.

Picchvai

  • Morakuti picchvais depicting peacocks with crested crowns dancing are used as backdrop decoration to the Shrinathji idol during the varsha ritu (monsoon season).
