Avdhesh Kumar Karn is a renowned Mithila artist and art educator, dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional folk arts of Bihar for over two decades. His practice bridges heritage and contemporary expression, engaging younger generations through painting, workshops, and cultural education. Deeply rooted in the Mithila tradition, his works reflect devotion, storytelling, and the vibrancy of rural India.

His artwork “Sita Ram Pratham Milan” portrays the divine first meeting of Sita and Lord Ram in King Janaka’s garden—a scene symbolizing love, destiny, and purity. Executed in the classical Madhubani style, it features natural colors, double-line outlines, and intricate motifs that enrich the composition with symbolic depth.
