The beautiful Madhubani painting is given a detail treatment by the women painters of Mithila. The huge tree at the centre of the painting is surrounded by a number of animal and human figures. Madhubani paintings are practised by the female artists of Mithila in Bihar and they use natural colours and powders to create beautiful paintings on cotton clothes. Normally natural motifs and gods and goddesses from Hindu pantheon are decorated with beautiful colours and lines.
