The Death of CSS Frameworks? How I Generated Traditional Indian Art with Pure HTML Canvas (Zero Bloat, Perfect Performance)

Forget wrestling with CSS utilities. Varnika is the Cultural Pattern Generator that algorithmically creates beautiful Warli, Madhubani, and Phulkari patterns. The secret? It's powered by HTML Canvas and raw JavaScript —no heavy libraries, just pure code preserving cultural heritage. If you think algorithmic art is complex, this post breaks down the JavaScript math and Canvas API calls that let you style a webpage with code instead of stylesheets. Why load an SVG when you can generate a perfect pattern in 50 lines of JS?
