#MEETTHEARTIST
Kalyan Joshi — Keeping the story of Phad alive.
For Kalyan Joshi, Phad painting began at the age of eight.
He learned the tradition from his father and guru, the renowned Phad artist Shree Lal Joshi, becoming part of a family lineage that has carried the artform across generations.
But Kalyan's practice doesn't stop at preserving tradition.
Through monochromatic interpretations, contemporary subjects and collaborations with narrative poetry, he has explored new ways of telling stories through Phad — while staying rooted in its visual language.
His contribution to the artform has been recognised with the National Award and through **ANKAN Kala Sansthan**, he has also worked to introduce Phad to younger generations.

Today, his artworks move between stories of everyday life, art itself, mythology and contemporary experiences — showing just how much a traditional artform can continue to evolve.

MYTH: Madhubani is just one style of painting.

“Madhubani” is often used as if it describes one fixed visual style.
But look across different Madhubani artists and you'll notice variations in linework, composition, colour, motifs and subject matter.
Some artists work with strikingly detailed linework. Others bring contemporary approaches into the tradition while retaining its distinctive visual vocabulary.
Take Ambika Devi, for example. Her work is particularly recognised for her mastery of linework, while her practice also extends across broader palettes and canvases.

Have you noticed how different two Madhubani artists can look?

One tree. So many ways of imagining life.

The Tree of Life is a recurring idea across Indian art — but every tradition gives it its own visual language.
In Gond, a tree can become a vibrant ecosystem filled with animals, birds and intricate patterns.
In Kalamkari, trees and foliage can become part of elaborate floral and mythological compositions.
The subject may be familiar.

The way an artist sees it is what makes it different.
Which Tree of Life would you bring home?

What makes Gond look like Gond?

It might be the animal you notice first. Or the colours.
But look closer.
You'll find dots, lines, curves and repeated patterns filling the bodies of animals, birds, trees and other forms.
These patterns aren't simply added as decoration. They create texture, rhythm and movement within the painting.
The outline tells you what you're looking at.
The patterns tell you how the artist has chosen to see it.

Zoom into these artworks and tell us which pattern caught your eye.

A is for Aipan.

What if a simple geometric pattern could carry generations of stories?
Aipan is a traditional folk art from Kumaon in Uttarakhand, traditionally created by women on floors and walls during festivals, rituals and auspicious occasions.
Its distinctive red-and-white patterns are often made using rice paste, with motifs inspired by nature, spirituality and everyday life.
What makes Aipan particularly beautiful is how it turns an ordinary surface into something meaningful — a doorway, a courtyard, a wall, a place of prayer.

And today, the tradition is finding its way into contemporary homes while continuing to carry its cultural identity.
Have you come across Aipan art before?

#EDITOR'SPICK

A family of lions, told through the language of Gond.
Some artworks ask you to look.This one asks you to look closer.
The Family of Lions in Gond by Gareeba Singh Tekam brings together six panels to create a striking portrait of lions — their forms filled with the intricate dots, lines and repeating patterns characteristic of Gond art.

Look closely at their bodies and you'll notice Gareeba's distinctive “Mayajaal” — or “Illusion” — pattern, creating an almost hypnotic sense of movement and depth.
The result is both deeply rooted in Gond's visual tradition and strikingly contemporary.

Would you make this the statement piece of your living room?

Day 9 | Peacock Green 🦚

We end our nine-colour journey with a shade that feels unmistakably Indian — peacock green.

And what better way to explore it than through the peacock itself?

In Miniature art, the peacock becomes a canvas for intricate design, with layers of blue, green, orange and red transforming the bird into a rhythmic, almost otherworldly composition.

Peacock green works beautifully in interiors too — especially when paired with wood, brass, earthy neutrals and handcrafted textures.

Nine colours. Countless stories. And a little more India brought home.

May this Navratri bring a little richness to your days — in the people you cherish, the places you find comfort in, and the moments you create.

Day 8 | Purple 💜

Purple brings richness without needing to be loud.

In Indian art, jewel-like colours often appear alongside intricate patterns, detailed figures and natural motifs — creating artworks that feel almost immersive.

Banjara Embroidery, for example, uses vibrant colours to create magic.

In an interior, purple can be that unexpected detail — a textile, a painting, a ceramic or an accent that adds depth to an otherwise quiet room.

Sometimes, one unexpected colour is all a room needs.

May this Navratri remind you to slow down, find beauty in the quiet, and make space for what truly matters.
