Madhubani Peacock Painting on Handmade Paper – Mayur with Elongated Plume

Mayur with Elongated Plume explores the distinctive visual language of Madhubani (Mithila) art through an elegant vertical composition centred on a stylized Mayur (peacock). Its dramatically elongated plume extends through the slender format, while leafy branches, botanical motifs, and vibrant accents frame the central figure and add rhythm to the composition.

Created entirely by hand using traditional Kachni and Bharni techniques, the painting combines intricate line work with carefully filled areas of colour. The interplay of detailed patterns, flowing forms, and botanical elements gives the artwork a distinctive visual character while making full use of its elongated format.

Product Highlights

Traditional Kachni & Bharni Techniques

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

Mayur with Elongated Plume

A stylized Mayur forms the focal point of the composition, distinguished by a sweeping elongated plume that extends vertically through the artwork. Its flowing form creates a strong sense of movement and gives the piece its distinctive identity.

Created on Handmade Paper

The artwork is created on handmade paper, whose natural texture complements the fine lines, painted patterns, and handcrafted character of the piece.

Intricate Decorative Detailing

From the patterned plumage and fine line work of the Mayur to the surrounding leaves, branches, botanical motifs, and decorative borders, each element is carefully rendered with close attention to line, pattern, and composition.

Elegant Vertical Format

Measuring 11 × 5.5 inches, the slender portrait format works beautifully on narrow walls, beside doorways, in entryways, within gallery arrangements, or as a distinctive standalone accent.

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.
