About Mandana

Step into the vibrant world of Mandana art—a traditional tribal painting style from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, now reimagined for contemporary living. At MeMeraki, we bring you a curated collection of Mandana paintings, meticulously handcrafted by master artisans like Kaluram Meghvanshi and Vidya Soni.

Whether you're looking for simple Mandana art designs or bold, intricate motifs, our collection celebrates the spiritual and cultural richness of this time-honored art form.

What is Mandana Art?

Mandana art derives its name from the Sanskrit word "Mand" meaning ‘to decorate’. Practiced for centuries by the Meena community of Rajasthan and the Bhils of Madhya Pradesh, this art was traditionally created on walls, floors, and cooking areas using white chalk and red earth, especially during festivals like Diwali, Govardhan Puja, and marriage ceremonies.

Today, these Rajasthani Mandana art patterns live on in modern forms—on canvas, cloth, and wood—preserving both tradition and storytelling.

Mandana Art Designs and Motifs

Mandana paintings are known for their striking geometric precision and nature-inspired motifs. Our collection at MeMeraki features:

Floral elements: lotus, creepers, and vines
Animal symbols: elephants, tigers, cows, peacocks, and deer

These traditional Mandana designs are often symbolic—invoking prosperity, divinity, and protection from evil.
