Manjusha art is believed to be the only art form in the history of art form in India which has a sequential representation of the story and is displayed in a series. This sequential representation can be seen in a monograph titled Manjusha painting: Folk Arts of Anga Janapada (मंजूषा चित्रकला: अंग क्षेत्र की लोककला) analysis and presentation by senior artist Shekhar. The monograph was published in 1998, in which original paintings by most celebrated manjusha artist Chakravarti Devi had been used for pictorial presentation of Manjusha art. Please find the monograph in slide show.

SUPPORT THE FOLKARTOPEDIA

Folkartopedia Archive is an online open resource of folk, traditional and tribal arts and expressions. We are constantly documenting artists, artworks, art villages, their artistic expressions, cultural heritage and other aspects of their life, to develop and enrich the archive that deserves you. We usually ask, what is the necessity of documentation and archives of arts? The answer is simple, what cultural heritage will we leave behind for our future generations in absence of documented work?

This effort cannot be a success, without your support. We need you and your support. If you think, the role of Folkartopedia is important, please support us.
