Legend has it that King Janak of Mithila in Bihar commissioned artists to make paintings at the time of the wedding of his daughter Sita to Lord Rama.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjotn4upy55kBe-T8xk4qF7Sr0B2hDcmUuhI8m6H01vwtner2sZuVHlNRsNBxElG1NdcyjGaB2tdiuEJYn3PVPZt0FD0vNON2l4UgqjLAEWIBJnvHlcuzyFTFaGThWh3iIHwGi2KUNXaDyr/s1600-h/madu6.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104410557869651426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjotn4upy55kBe-T8xk4qF7Sr0B2hDcmUuhI8m6H01vwtner2sZuVHlNRsNBxElG1NdcyjGaB2tdiuEJYn3PVPZt0FD0vNON2l4UgqjLAEWIBJnvHlcuzyFTFaGThWh3iIHwGi2KUNXaDyr/s400/madu6.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a>( Lord Krishna dancing on the head of Kaliya the snake) Madhubani Paintings are usually done on freshly plastered mud walls of homes in Mithila. Vegetable dyes are used in the paintings and the skills are passed on from one generation to the next. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104407375298885074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpu-azuJTNICLdNdNpd2sudXlU-uMPmrKEmpo66p_T5lnmi3GH8OEnEQrrbxQD8T0h9S_fdaoKS9FBOp2SLVB-WbVMof_8VxkOR0QmQoeIXQ0pTajcziiqCk_XeRaxMXOfGAzYrHX2omUs/s400/madu2.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Goddess from indian-art.net<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104416184276809234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5pIgscy8GMZBdBusRDAq-XQe8zBIBrac1w0sXwxT2zXhzUfir6VbTLUfLJ2WQ73bHVVvgJBJNzcioYsb8uqF_ewQfVl-cgwi4O3U5mXViHUhF23gZnevHkiX8Aw1QJX-4yO9Kd4VK9oil/s400/bharti+dayal.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />'Midst the Ocean' by Bharti Dayal <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104347456210138450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0gVxNmXWzP2l2U6zMq6vO2yFWrSdlc66MsL5NSUhuhRmKjUwkmeMDLeLUPPgpX8A5MMc__MEaTFg9mhj3Nbeoe8sMVX7FkGWSpPan8CN4fme5xPHMjZ4D-VX33tj7lAl0K9nEgNOpVOJb/s400/madu1.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" />Interesting simple black & white Madhubani painting on handmade paper.
