The People

The Makers Behind
the Wall

Bengal carries one of the world’s oldest unbroken craft traditions. From the terracotta temples of Bishnupur to the painted scrolls of Pingla, these traditions are not museum artefacts — they are living practices, sustained by communities whose knowledge passes hand to hand, generation to generation.

Karigori works directly with master artisans across six craft disciplines, commissioning new works, connecting them with architects and interior designers, and ensuring that every sale flows back to the maker at fair value.

Each artisan profile tells a complete story — their tradition, their village, their method. When you commission a Karigori piece, you know exactly whose hands made it.

Mr. P Paswan

Madhubani Painting

Madhuban, Madhuban, Bihar

Parikshan Paswan is an Indian folk artist specializing in traditional Mithila (Madhubani) painting from Bihar. Coming from the Paswan artisan community—a collective that has historically transformed the landscape of Madhubani art through distinct narrative forms like Godna (tattoo motif traditions) and nature-centric iconography—his work reflects the enduring living heritage of regional Indian folk expression.Artistic Practice & StyleLine Work and Detailing: Rooted in classic Mithila aesthetics, his visual vocabulary utilizes precise, continuous line drawing, repetitive geometric framing, and dense symbolic patterning.Thematic Scope: His art encompasses folkloric narratives, natural motifs (flora, fauna, and local wildlife), and cultural rituals native to the Mithila region.Medium & Process: True to generational practice, his work relies on handmade paper or handloom fabric bases, created with fine brushes and nibs using lampblack ink and traditional pigment tones.
