Did you know? Madhubani art from Bihar, renowned

Did you know?
Madhubani art from Bihar, renowned for its intricate depictions of Hindu deities, achieved a remarkable feat of conservation in 2012.

Dozens of artists transformed the trees along Highway 52 in Madhubani into vibrant canvases, painting colorful masterpieces of divine figures on trunks and barks. This innovative effort aimed to deter tree felling, appealing to the god-fearing sentiments of locals—and it worked! Not a single painted tree was chopped down, turning the highway into a living gallery of art and nature. Today, this stretch is a celebrated tourist destination, showcasing the power of art to protect and inspire.
