Gauri Mishra - The folk paintings of Mithila (Madhubani)
The folk paintings of Mithila (~Madhubani) are the joyous expressions of the Mithila women. The murals are distinctive in their rich and lively compositions and vibrant colours using themes from Hindu Mythology, maithil tantrik traditions and legends play significant roles in ancient life cycle ceremonies. For centuries women decorate the walls and floors with this painting.
