This festive design is inspired by the ancient Indian folk art form, Madhubani, also known as Mithila art, which originates from the same name in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal. The roots of this beautiful rustic art form date back to the ages of the Ramayana.

The Ramayana is an Indian Epic that is the story of Lord Rama, who kills the demon Ravana at the end of his 14 years of exile and returns to his city of Ayodhya with his wife and brother. They are given a grand welcome, which is now celebrated as Diwali.

It is believed that it was during these festivities that women of the region adorned their walls with such decorative patterns to welcome the gods.
