The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts the moon in a human form and it is being encircled with natural creatures. Some bright yet simple designs decorate the painting. The red moon with broad eyes, sharp nose, and piercing on nose is an epitome of simplicity and plain life and belief of the people of Mithila, around which the beautiful Madhubani style of painting develops. Madhubani paintings are done mostly by women, who 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.
