The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts the immortal love between Krishna and Radha. The black and white painting depicts the simplicity of the people of Mithila. Madhubani painting has been done traditionally by the women of villages around the present town of Madhubani (the literal meaning of which is forests of honey) 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.
