The History of Manjusha Art in India

Manjusha art from Bhagalpur, Bihar, dating back to the 7th century, is a unique art form. Originating from the ceremonial boxes used during the Bishahari Puja festival dedicated to the snake god, it is used to narrate stories, particularly the tale of Bihula and the five bishaharis. Manjusha paintings feature abstract depictions of folklore and nature, including snakes and lotuses.
