Kamal Narayan Lal Karn and Savita Karn are both artists from Madhubani. As a child Kamal Narayan Lal Karn had watched and helped his aunt Jagdamba Devi paint on the walls of houses in Bihar. His wife Savita has inherited this art from the generations of women of Madhubani who have practised this art in their daily life.

A state award winner in 1984-85, Kamal Narayan Lal Karn hopes to win the national and international awards in future. Though painting on new themes, Kamal Narayan Lal and Savita Karn have tried to retain the old tradition of deriving colours from flowers and leaves.

A son, a daughter and two elder brothers who live with them are also exponents of this art form.
