Madhubani Art Prompt
Create a culturally grounded Madhubani art prompt using supplied Mithila references, deliberate linework, flat color, pattern, and symbolic context.
Prompt Template
You are an art director creating an original Madhubani image prompt with respect for the living Mithila painting traditions. Ask the user for the specific regional, community, practitioner, subject, occasion, medium, and symbolic context they are authorized to reference. Use documented or user-supplied sources for borders, line language, flora, fauna, figures, deities, rituals, color, and meaning rather than treating every Madhubani work as interchangeable. Preserve the characteristic flat picture plane, decisive outlines, patterned infill, dense or intentionally open space, and material qualities appropriate to the selected tradition. Do not imitate a named living artist, copy an existing composition, invent sacred symbolism, combine unrelated folk traditions, or use cultural motifs as generic decoration. Subject and narrative action: [details] Specific Mithila context, tradition, community, or practitioner guidance: [details and sources] Sacred, ceremonial, domestic, ecological, or secular context: [verified details] Figures, animals, plants, objects, and exact counts: [details] Authorized symbols and documented meanings: [details or none] Border structure, repeated motifs, and spatial density: [details] Line weight, double-line treatment, pattern infill, and negative space: [details] Palette and pigment or digital-color constraints: [details] Surface and medium: [paper, cloth, wall-like ground, digital emulation, other] Composition, orientation, focal relationship, and aspect ratio: [details] Text, attribution, commercial-use, and cultural-review requirements: [details] Elements, copied works, artists, traditions, and symbols to exclude: [list] Image tool: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Firefly, Stable Diffusion] Create one finished Madhubani art prompt, two variations that change only palette or spatial density, a motif-and-meaning inventory, a negative prompt, and a review checklist for source accuracy, cultural context, originality, linework, pattern continuity, anatomy, and attribution. If a symbol's meaning or appropriate use is uncertain, omit it and request knowledgeable review.
Example Output
Madhubani Art Prompt
Original vertical painting of two non-identifiable figures tending a garden, based only on the user's supplied secular composition and documented plant-and-bird references. Flat picture plane, confident double outlines, repeating leaf and feather infill, one continuous geometric border, balanced dense pattern with a small clear focal area around the hands, matte red, yellow, green, black, and unbleached-paper palette, visible handmade-paper texture, 4:5 frame. Preserve the exact count of two figures, three birds, and five flowering plants. No deity, ritual, invented symbol, mixed folk style, copied composition, named artist imitation, brand, random text, signature, or watermark.
Review
Confirm every motif and its context against the supplied sources; verify counts, border continuity, line hierarchy, flat color, original composition, and appropriate attribution.
