The recent surge in the "Ghibli trend," where users employ AI tools to transform photographs into the distinctive animation style of Japan's Studio Ghibli, has captivated social media platforms. This phenomenon gained momentum following ChatGPT's March 25 upgrade to its 4.0 model, which introduced native image generation capabilities. The replication of this style through AI tools has sparked debates about intellectual property rights and the potential implications for artists whose works are used without consent. 

Amidst this global fascination with the Ghibli aesthetic, there's a renewed interest in traditional art forms, including India's rich tapestry of painting styles. India boasts a diverse range of indigenous art forms, each with its own historical and cultural significance. Notable among these are:

Madhubani Painting: Originating from Bihar, this style is characterized by intricate patterns and vibrant colors, often depicting mythological themes and nature-inspired motifs.

Warli Art: Hailing from Maharashtra, Warli art employs simple geometric shapes to narrate daily life and environmental elements, traditionally rendered in white on mud walls.

Pattachitra: A traditional art form from Odisha and West Bengal, Pattachitra involves detailed narrative paintings on cloth or dried palm leaves, showcasing themes from Hindu mythology.

Tanjore Painting: Emerging from Tamil Nadu, Tanjore paintings are known for their rich colors, surface richness, and use of gold foil to highlight embellishments, predominantly portraying deities.
