The ferocious goddess Mahakali is being painted with the garland of the skulls of human beings. She is shown trampling over the sleeping body of Lord Shiva. He body is painted indigo and the surroundings are painted using some variegated colours. The borders are painted nicely with some fishes. Her bulging lip, broad eyes, long hair all make her a fearful god. But worshipping her help us get rid of evil forces. The goddess is being given a local touch by the women artists of Mithila.
