What to expect

Mithila Art, which originates from Janakpur—the infamous origin for all Mithila arts of Nepal—is an ancient traditional style of painting that uses vibrant colors and unique designs. You will find various colours mixed/made by the artisan with a base of only a few colours. The artisan will guide you through the art's history and how it has impacted the artist's life. You'll have the chance to create your own masterpiece on the canvas using the colours of your choice with the brushes. Once you have created your masterpiece, join the artisans for lunch to conclude your session.
