Shri Yantra Madhubani Painting on Handmade Paper by Goluji Madhubani

This exquisite Madhubani painting presents the sacred Shri Yantra, a revered geometric diagram in tantric Hinduism. Considered a visual manifestation of the divine feminine, particularly Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the Shri Yantra is a powerful tool for meditation and spiritual insight, embodying the cosmos in its intricate form. Artist Goluji renders this complex motif with the characteristic precision of the Madhubani tradition, employing the distinct double-line borders and the dense filling that leaves no space empty, infusing the spiritual geometry with the vibrant energy of Mithila folk art.

Crafted by Goluji, a master folk artist from a village in Bihar, this work exemplifies the authentic Madhubani, or Mithila, painting style. It is rendered on handmade paper meticulously treated with cow dung, a traditional preparation that links the contemporary practice to its rural origins. Historically, Madhubani art was created by women on freshly plastered mud walls and floors for ceremonies and festivals, a practice that evolved onto paper from the 1960s. The artist’s command of the form is evident in the iconic double-line work and the horror vacui, the dense filling of space. While the Shri Yantra is abstract, other Madhubani works often feature stylised almond eyes and motifs such as fish, peacocks, lotuses, the sun, moon, and serpents, sometimes executed in either the fine line kachni or the bold colour bharni styles.
