The colourful Madhubani painting depicts the Goddess Durga killing the demon Mahishasur. The beheaded figure of the demon king and the eight-handed Goddess with her weapons are nicely painted with some beautiful natural colours.

Madhubani painting is centred around Mithila region of Bihar, where women painters depict mythological and natural figures on cloth, hand-made paper and canvas. This is an age-old tradition and has been handing down from generations to generations.
