    Youtube Video of the interview: https://youtu.be/Kjg-CENxuP0
    Most of us have seen and admired a Madhubani painting at some point in our lives. The artists' colorful and vibrant style and topics in their paintings make Madhubani paintings one of the very famous Indian art forms. Yes, it is indeed a splendid art form, but for me, it means a lot more than just a beautiful expression. The story of Madhubani is closely related to the women’s economic and social empowerment while showing their talent and innermost feelings to the world. 
    Today, we reveal one such inspiring story of a great Madhubani artist – Dulari Devi. Dulari Ji learned this art from renowned artists Mahasundri Devi and Karpoori Devi working in their houses as a domestic worker. She used to watch them and would dream of becoming an artist and today she has received the Padma Shri award for dedication and brilliance.  In this interview, we cover her astonishing and inspiring journey to become a renowned artist and receiving one of the highest civilian awards by the government of India.
    Along with Dulariji, We have the privilege to have Kaushik Kumar Jha with her too. As the chief Administrator and General Manager of Mithila Art Institute since its founding in 2003, Kaushik Kumar Jha has been instrumental in bringing the Madhubani artists and researchers together and is a great help and support to the entire Madhubani art community.
