Aipan Art
Aipan art is an established-ritualistic folk art originating from the region of Uttarakhand. The art is done mainly during special occasions, household ceremonies and rituals. Many believe that it invokes a divine power which brings about good fortune and deters evil.[1] The art is special as it is done on empty walls, which are brick-red in color. The actual art is done with a white paste made of rice flour. The art is frequent to floors and walls of Puja rooms and entrances of homes. It is also practiced mostly by women.
