Madhubani Painting - Madhubani painting, originating from Bihar, India, is a traditional folk art known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns.

Madhubani art has gained international recognition for its cultural richness and storytelling through vivid visuals.
This Madhubani painting beautifully depicts a Raas Leela scene, with Lord Krishna and Radha at the center, symbolizing divine love and harmony. The circular composition highlights balance and unity, a key feature of traditional Mithila art. Surrounding the central figures are gopis shown dancing gracefully, representing devotion, joy, and spiritual celebration.

Peacocks, birds, trees, and floral motifs fill the background, symbolizing nature’s participation in the divine event.
