A renowned Mithila artist, Godavari Dutta is among the five dignitaries from Bihar in 2019, who were conferred with Padma Shri awards. She was honored with one of the highest civilian awards because of her great contribution to the Mithila art. She feels proud and considers this achievement as a motivation for herself to keep on working. On the eve of Padma Shri award, Sunil Kumar interviewed her in Patna. Please be a witness of her glorious journey in Mithila painting by now.

“Mithila art is a traditional form. One acquires it from ancestors. Usually, mothers pass on the tradition to daughters so that they can paint if they need to” says Padma Shri Godavari Dutta.

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.
