India's Most Authentic Aipan Art Workshop Experience
Hands-on Aipan painting classes in traditional & modern colours — workshops across India for schools, corporates, tourists, cafes, and resorts.
What is Aipan Art? — The Soul of Uttarakhand Folk Art
Aipan is a centuries-old ritual folk art from the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, practised by women of the hills as a form of devotion and cultural identity. Our Aipan Art Workshop brings this living Uttarakhand folk art into schools, corporate spaces, and tourist experiences — a genuine traditional Indian art workshop that preserves every original technique while also embracing modern colour palettes.
"Every pattern in Aipan is a conversation between the earth and the divine — geru for the soil of Kumaon, biswar for the sacred white of rice."

Why Choose an Aipan Art Workshop by Aipankari?
An Aipan Art Workshop is unlike any ordinary craft session. Our Aipan Workshop in India connects participants with an unbroken lineage of Pahadi women who painted these sacred patterns for over two thousand years — while also offering the option of vibrant modern colours for contemporary expression.
Uttarakhand Folk Art Workshop — Traditional Meets Modern
What separates a genuine Uttarakhand folk art workshop from a generic craft activity is living knowledge. Our artisans teach both — authentic geru and biswar techniques passed down through generations, and modern acrylic colour applications for those who want to take Aipan in a contemporary direction. Every Aipan painting class carries this full spectrum.
