Mujer y pájaro Madhubani Pintura sobre papel hecho a mano de la India, "Conversación con un pájaro II"

Bharti has dedicated her life to the preservation of Madhubani painting. She is viewed as an authority in the field and has trained dozens of aspiring artists in this ancient style, many of whom are now able to earn a living through the practice of this art. In her own paintings, Bharti brings a contemporary intellectual edge to this ancient Indian folk art. She has received numerous awards for her paintings but the one she treasures most is the National Award for Excellence in Handicrafts, also known as the President's Award - it was her long-held dream to receive it.
