About The Craft

Tikuli art takes its name from the word “Tikli” or “Bindi”. Tikuli Art originated in Patna, Bihar and has a rich history of 800 years. It was revived to its modern form in 1954 by Shri Upendra Maharathi, a renowned artist from Bihar. Today, Tikuli Art is known for its intricate hand painting in vibrant colours adorning everyday objects such as coasters, pen stands, and decorative wall panels. 

Tikuli art form  draws inspiration from  Madhubani art and it commonly depicts everyday chores of household women, auspicious occasions such as wedding ceremonies, and scenes from Brindavan
