The colourful Madhubani painting reveals the amazing beauty of this type of popular painting practised mainly by the female folks of Northern Bihar. Lord Ganesha and the two mother goddesses are given a more human touch in the painting. Mithila or Madhubani paintings are a folk art kept alive by the women in northern Bihar. Based on traditional designs and events from epic mythology, these paintings are made on the floors and walls of their houses. They use crushed wet rice and natural colors on purely handmade paper. From this age-old tradition born the practice of drawing Mithila paintings on a canvas of handmade paper or pure mulberry silk fabric, using natural colours and fabric dyes.
