Artisan Vidushini crafts a cheerful and charming journal from handmade paper, adorned with traditional Madhubani art depicting colorful fish. Madhubani painting was traditionally done by women on freshly plastered mud walls and floors of huts, but are now also done on cloth, handmade paper and canvas. Madhubani paintings mostly depict the beauty of nature and scenes from the ancient epics. Natural objects like the sun, the moon, animals and plants are also widely painted, along with scenes from the royal court. Traditionally, this style of painting was one of the skills passed down from generation to generation in families of the Mithila Region. The spiral-bound journal features 40 unlined pages.
The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.
"Though I have not had any formal training, it was not difficult for me take up this art. I have inherited it from my culture, and it feels great. I take pride in it."
