Madhubani painting, 'Tree of Life'

Sheltered in the mighty branches of the tree of life, two traditional deities are a brilliant presence. To the right, the sun god appears in brilliant orange while the moon goddess to the left is a lovely young woman. This traditional Madhubani painting by Dileep Kumar is drawn freehand on handmade paper. As each painting is an individual creation, each is unique. Colors and motifs may vary slightly from that pictured.
