Mithila paintings- also called Madhubani painting after the nearest district capital, it is a widely recognised folk art tradition. It is presumed that for centuries, women living in this region have painted figures and designs on the walls of their mud houses for ceremonial occasions, particularly, weddings. People of this area see the origin of this art form at the time of Princess Sita getting married to Lord Rama.

Warli painting- Married women play a central role in creating their most important painting called Chowk to mark special occasions. Closely associated with the rituals of marriage, fertility, harvest and new season of sowing, Chowk is dominated by the figure of mother goddess, Palaghat, who is chiefly worshipped as the goddess of fertility and represents the corn goddess, Kansari. These paintings are traditionally painted with rice flour on earth coloured walls of their homes.

Puri patas or paintings evidently acquire their claim to recognition from the temple city of Puri in Odisha. It largely comprises the pata (initially, done on palm leaf and cloth but now done on paper as well). A range of themes are painted, such as the daily and festival veshas (attires) of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra (e.g., Bada Shringar Vesha, Raghunath Vesha, Padma Vesha, Krishna–Balaram Vesha, Hariharan Vesha, etc); Rasa paintings, Ansara patti (this substitutes the icons in the Garbhagriha, when they are removed for cleaning and fresh colouring is done after Snanayatra); Jatri patti (for pilgrims to take away as memorabilia and put them in personal temples at home), episodes from the myths of Jagannath, such as the Kanchi Kaveri Pata and Thia-badhia pata, a combination of aerial and lateral view of the temple with the icons and temples around or depiction of festivals around it.

Phads of Rajasthan- Designated by the broad term bhomia, these heroes are honoured, worshiped and remembered for their acts of martyrdom. Bhomias, such as Gogaji, Jejaji, Dev Narayan, Ramdevji and Pabhuji, have inspired widespread cult following among the communities of Rabaris, Gujjars, Meghwals, Regars and others. Illustrating the valorous tales of the bhomias (cattle heroes), the phads, are carried by bhopas, the itinerant bards, who travel the territory, displaying them while narrating tales and singing devotional songs associated with these hero-deities in night-long storytelling performances. A lamp is held against the phad to illuminate images that are being spoken about. The bhopa and his companion perform to the accompaniment of musical instruments, such as ravanahattha and veena, and employ the Khyal style of singing. Through the phads and phad banchan, the community remembers the hero as a martyr and keeps his story alive.
