The term 'Tikuli' refers to the local name for bindi, which is a vibrant, colorful dot that women adorn on their foreheads between their eyebrows. Historically, the bindi served as a representation of reverence for intellect and the preservation of modesty. Tikuli art is a distinctive form of art with a profound and rich traditional background. It traces its origins back to the Magadh Empire, dating over 800 years. The themes of Tikuli art revolve around Indian festivals, wedding celebrations, and the tales of Krishna Leela. Tikuli is crafted in the vicinity of Patliputra by rural women artisans, guided by the esteemed artist Mr. Ashok Biswas. It serves as an ideal Indian souvenir.
