Plenty of chic geometric designs, floral patterns and colours to play with, along with animal motifs – Madhubanis are a form of tribal art with a story or a scenery etched in the fabric. The art is magnificent in more ways than one, and even words would fall short to define the art form.

#2. Mithila

One more reason to wow yourselves, the Mithila as a tribal art form has made a comeback. Call it a blend of the East and the West, the Mithila is an amalgamation of brilliant splashes and prints – creating a niche return in its own rights.

#3. Ikat

This is a process where silk and cotton are dyed in unique ways, and a technique which isn’t a close fetched idea on the lines of tie and die. The method has come down since ages. With unique designs and binding patterns, Ikat remains the best so far. Ikat making a comeback has left fashionistas with baited breath.

#4. Mekhla
