Its spontaneous expression is evident in Indian folk arts such as Madhubani, Warli, Gond, Pithora, Rangoli, Mandana, and others, which are a natural, emotional, and traditional expression of society's cultural memory, philosophy of life, and aesthetic sense. Indian folk arts are a powerful expression of the nation's cultural consciousness, tradition, and collective experience. The lines and shapes used by folk artists are deeply intertwined with geometric principles. This research is a living example of the aesthetic mathematical geometry of folk art. This study will not only provide information on cultural heritage but will also serve as a bridge between art, mathematics, and education. It proves that folk art and mathematics are not separate from each other. Folk artists apply mathematical principles through experiential knowledge. Folk arts are excellent examples of both aesthetic and mathematical balance and geometry.
