About the artist: Vidya Devi Soni from Bhilwara learnt under the guidance of her father Shri Badri Lal and mother Smt Sumitra from the early age of 6 years. Today at the age of 68 years, she continues to practice this traditional art of India and was awarded the National Merit Award in 2017.

Mandana in the local language refers to ‘drawing’ in the context of chitra mandana or ‘drawing a picture’. Mandana is derived from the word Mandan which implies decoration and beautification. Historically, they have been practiced for centuries by women as decorations for special or festive occasions. Among others, these events included communal religious worship, festivals and fasts and lastly auspicious days in the life of the community such as birth or marriage. Since they were drawn for spiritual purposes, the pictures usually consisted of the main deity of the festival. This served two purposes simultaneously; a) the deity of the festival is invoked through the paintings b) the pictures were also a symbolic representation of the god or goddess.

We hope you can join us to support the arts and artists.
