The traditional Madhubani painting reflects Lord Ganesha is deep in the forest writing his manuscript with a beautiful peacock stencil and has wore a dress with sharp colours and beautiful embroidery.

The origins of Madhubani painting or Mithila Painting are shrouded in antiquity and mythology. Madhubani painting/Mithila painting has been done traditionally by the women of villages around the present town of Madhubani and Darbhanga (the literal meaning of Madhubani is forests of honey) and other areas of Mithila. The painting was traditionally done on freshly plastered mud walls and floors of huts, but now they are also done on cloth, handmade paper and canvas.
