The simple but attractive Madhubani painting depicts Lord Arjuna preaching Arjuna at the battleground of Kurukshetra following the latter’s refusal to raise arms against his kith and kin. Natural colours are used by the women painters to depict the famous scene from Indian epic Mahabharata. Madhubani painting has been done traditionally by the women of villages around the present town of Madhubani and other areas of Mithila. The painting was traditionally done on freshly plastered mud wall of huts, but now it is also done on cloth, hand-made paper and canvas.
