Sanjhi Painting is a tradition of art that originated out of the cult of Krishna and flourished in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is in Vraja, or Vrindavan, the homeland of Lord Sri Krishna, that this art of Sanjhi painting reached its pinnacle.

Recycled or handmade paper is used to create the stencil. The specific metal scissors used for making Sanjhi art today were invented by Ram Soni's family. The inspiration for designing motifs for his brand, Sanjhi Art (Paper Cutting), comes from nature to appeal to buyers from different backgrounds. To create a Sanjhi design, stencils are made on paper (mostly handmade) using specially designed scissors. These stencils are placed on flat surfaces or water, where the rangoli has to be drawn. Dry colors are then sifted onto the surface.
