 The skilled craftsmen of Bihar undertakes every task with fastidiousness. Instead of establishing an assembly line production technique, the craft continues to be a women's domain who popularize their own crop of legends, natural ambiance, and traditional uses. That is why the crafts of Bihar wear a rugged and authentic look. The famous art of Madhubani Paintings is practiced in the region of Mithila, the land of lord Buddha. During festivities or marriage Madhubani Painting are specially painted and considered auspicious. The favorite subjects of this painting are marriage of Shiva and Parvati, Lord Krishna with Radha and Lord Buddha.
Bangles made in Muzaffarpur households by natural resources are very famous. Bihar was the land of Buddha's nirvana. The stone images of Gaya regenerate Lord Buddha's messages. The wild Sikki Grass, a virtual riverside weed, has become a source of creativity for the Sikki womenfolk. Sikki stretch is coiled into shapes, ranging from a simple round box with a lid to stylized ones stimulating an elephant, a bird, a snake or a tortoise. The boxes vary in shape and size. Again, not quite satisfied with just natural texture of the grass, the women embellish it with dyed strands, woven into patterns of geometrical intricacy, which add elegance to this simple craft. |
