Rambharos Jha

Artist Rambharos Jha grew up on the banks of river Ganga, and developed a fascination for water and water life. Born in the culture-rich district of Darbanga in the Mithila region, he moved to Madhubani as a child when his father started work in a government-supported art and culture project. Since then he has followed his own creative impulses, developing the tradition in his own style.Click here to discover his other Tara Books.
