Madhubani Elephant & Bird Painting on Handmade Paper – Vibrant Orange Gaja with Lotus

Vibrant Orange Gaja with Lotus brings together animal, bird, and botanical motifs within a richly detailed Madhubani (Mithila) composition. A striking orange Gaja (elephant) forms the centrepiece, its body embellished with colourful geometric and ornamental patterns, while a delicate bird, lotus forms, leafy branches, and other botanical elements complete the scene.

Created entirely by hand using traditional Kachni and Bharni techniques, the artwork combines intricate line work with carefully filled areas of vibrant colour. The contrast between the bold orange Gaja and the surrounding green, red, yellow, and blue accents gives the composition a lively and distinctive visual character.

Product Highlights

Traditional Kachni & Bharni Techniques:

Painted entirely by hand, the artwork combines Kachni, characterized by intricate line work, with Bharni, in which areas of the composition are filled with colour. Together, these techniques create a richly detailed and expressive surface.

Vibrant Orange Gaja with Bird & Lotus:

A richly decorated orange Gaja forms the focal point of the artwork, accompanied by a small bird and surrounded by lotus and botanical motifs. The combination creates a lively composition filled with colour and visual detail.

Intricate Decorative Detailing:

The Gaja is embellished with geometric patterns, colourful bands, fine outlines, and ornamental details, while the surrounding bird, flowers, leaves, and branches add further layers of pattern and texture.

Created on Handmade Paper:

The artwork is created on handmade paper, whose natural texture complements the detailed line work, vibrant pigments, and handcrafted character of the piece.

Vibrant Colour Palette:

Bold orange is complemented by accents of red, blue, yellow, green, and black, giving the artwork a vivid presence while highlighting its intricate patterns and decorative forms.

Compact Square Format:

Measuring 7.5 × 7.5 inches, the compact square format works beautifully on smaller wall spaces, in entryways, reading corners, gallery arrangements, or as an accent within a larger art collection.

Unframed for Flexible Styling:

The artwork is sold unframed, allowing you to select a frame that complements both the artwork and your interior.

As each artwork is painted by hand, subtle variations in line, colour, and detailing are a natural part of the craft and contribute to the individual character of every piece.
