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.

Did you know?
The Yazh, one of India’s oldest string instruments from ancient Tamil Nadu, dates back over 2,000 years and is a masterpiece of acoustic design and cultural symbolism.
Crafted from jackfruit wood and strung with silk or gut, the Yazh’s curved, harp-like body was specifically designed to amplify soft, resonant sounds, creating a calming, ethereal effect perfect for temples and royal courts. Each string is carefully tuned, with shorter strings producing higher notes and longer strings delivering deep, rich tones—much like the voice of nature itself. Revered for its ability to evoke tranquility, the Yazh beautifully blends art and ancient science, symbolizing India’s timeless musical heritage.
