Anshu Mishra

Hailing from Benipatti, Madhubani, Anshu Mishra serves as Head of Artisans across Discover Mithila. Belonging to a celebrated matrilineal line of ritual painters, she leads craftsmanship training, onboarding, and quality inspection across rural artisan clusters, ensuring sacred symbology remains uncompromised.

Specializing in ceremonial Kohbar and intricate Kachni linework, her paintings preserve the ancient freehand line discipline using fine bamboo nibs (sarkanda). Double-contoured borders and delicate geometric textures are applied directly to canvas and handmade cotton-rag paper with zero preliminary pencil drafting.

Through her leadership, more than 200 women artisans across Mithilanchal receive direct fair compensation, reviving classical motifs while securing economic dignity for rural households.
