Description

This exquisite piece is a masterclass in Kachni (Line Work) Madhubani art, celebrating the symbolic Tree of Life. The artist has employed incredible patience, rendering the entire tree trunk and foliage using meticulous stippling (dots) and fine cross-hatching to create texture and depth in black and white. This monochromatic detail is brilliantly contrasted by the numerous, brightly colored birds. Instead of simple flat color, the birds are filled with fine dashes and segmented lines, merging the vibrancy of the Bharni style with the precision of Kachni detailing. This dense composition (Bharam) symbolizes longevity, abundance, and the rich vitality of nature
