Introduced to Mithila brushwork while working in the Ranti village household of senior painter Karpoori Devi, Dulari Devi developed tightly spaced single- and double-needle Kachni hatching to chronicle river-fishing life, village clinics, and seasonal harvests. 1

Co-author of the illustrated autobiography Following My Paint Brush (2011), she has trained hundreds of young painters at the Mithila Art Institute and received the Padma Shri in 2021. 1
