Philosophies behind Madhubani Art | Bharti Dayal | TEDxIIITD

Bharti Dayal is a Madhubani artist from Mithila - the birthplace of the art form itself. Her paintings are a simplified manifestation of the philosophical underpinnings characteristic of Indian folk traditions. While being an advocate of the Madhubani style of painting, she's also supporting and mentoring up-and-coming Madhubani artists to create unique works of art. For her contributions, she was awarded the National Award for excellence in handicrafts in 2007. In her talk, Bharti speaks about the underlying philosophies behind Madhubani art, how it has impacted the nation and the world, and what we can do to contribute to the awareness of the artform.
