Bold, densely patterned paintings of deities, nature and ritual, from the Mithila region.
Understand
Madhubani (Mithila) painting was traditionally made by women on the walls and floors of homes for ceremonies; it carries a geographical-indication tag.
Painters use fingers, twigs, nib-pens and matchsticks with natural colours, outlining figures and filling the background with geometric patterns so no space is left empty.
