Sanjhi Painting

Sanjhi is a very intricate and detailed art-form of making stencils of paper for various ceremonial and ritualistic purposes such as drawing rangoli or floor decor on auspicious occasions. Having originated from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, this art-form has been around for a very long time. And quite recently, both religious and secular designs are found in the paintings with delicate designs and motifs such as silhouettes of palaces, creepers and flora.
