The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts the realm of the King Shailesh with the tattoo images of the living creatures in circular pattern. Tatoos of fishes, human beings are being nicely painted in the painting. Mithila paintings, alternately called Madhubani, are a folk tradition kept alive by women in northern Bihar. Together, they draw traditional designs and depict events from epic mythology on the floors and walls of their houses using crushed wet rice and natural colors on 100% cotton fabric and handmade paper. From this age old tradition stemmed the practice of drawing Mithila paintings on a canvas of handmade paper or pure mulberry silk fabric, using natural colors and fabric dyes.
