What We Do
With the rise of commercialisation and factory made goods, even a priceless tradition like ‘Mithila Paintings’ has been affected.
We at ‘MITHILAsmita’ strive to preserve the original Mithila Paintings (aka Madhubani Paintings) in its centuries old free-hand style, by providing genuine artists from Mithilanchal a platform to showcase their work and a market to sell their products.
How We Are Different
We believe in responsible business over charity.
While we aim to provide the traditional art forms of India an International platform, we do so while maintaining the authenticity of the art. We support multiple artisan clusters through our authentic Madhubani merchandise and impact communities at multiple socio-economic levels, with a huge focus on rural women.
