A card or chart a family keeps for Chaitra Navratri, the nine nights of the Goddess that close on Ram Navami. These nine show a ghatasthapana kalash with barley shoots, a nine-day card naming the nine forms of Durga, and a trishul with a diya and a blank panel for a message. Each is drawn in Madhubani, a devotional calendar print or a minimal red line. Type a different subject and the same styles carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
