The By Hand From The Heart Makers Market, held at Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Chennai, on December 21st and 22nd, 2024, was an experience to remember. For me, as an artist and founder of Madhubani Arts India, it was not just about showcasing my work but also about connecting with people who truly appreciate the essence of handmade art.
From the moment the event opened, I could feel the warmth and curiosity of the Chennai audience. The city’s love for art and culture was evident in the way visitors engaged with my Madhubani creations—asking thoughtful questions about the history, techniques, and stories behind each piece.
One of the most rewarding aspects was interacting with foreign visitors, many of whom were drawn to the intricate details and vibrant colors of Madhubani art. It was truly humbling to see them embrace this ancient Indian art form, and several of them even purchased pieces to take a little part of India back with them.
The event provided a platform to share not just my work but also the story of Madhubani art—its roots in Bihar, the symbolism behind the motifs, and the labor of love that goes into every brushstroke. Watching people resonate with this story and invest in these creations reaffirmed why I do what I do.
Overall, the two days were filled with meaningful conversations, new connections, and the joy of seeing my art find its way into the homes of art lovers from different walks of life. I’m deeply grateful to the organizers of By Hand From The Heart for curating such a vibrant and inclusive event and to everyone who visited my stall.
As I pack up and reflect on this beautiful experience, I carry with me not just the joy of a successful event but also the inspiration to create even more. Until next time, Chennai—thank you for your love and support!
