ARIPAN

This is a Aripan which is a type of tile design. It is related to a mandala as well as madhubani art as it is used as a tile design in the Indian state of Bihar. There is always a theme to this type of design. In my drawing, I have based the theme on nature. The best part of this design is that all the colours have given the effect they were intended to give, the cool water; the home of the lotus flower and the green parrots, warm yellow background along with the sharp red chillies which have given so much character to the design !!!
