"Madhubani"
Madhubani or Mithila painting have their roots, as the name suggests, in the Madhubani and Mithila regions in Bihar. It is a traditional folk art form that has successfully carved a place for itself not only in Indian art culture but also on an international level. These paintings are done on various mediums such as cloth, hand-made paper, and canvas; and the main themes contain images of Hindu deities such as Krishna, Ram, Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati; besides including nature, too.
Moreover, Madhubani paintings beautifully depict celebrations for weddings. The main categories in Madhubani paintings are traditional, monochrome, tattoo, contemporary, animals, and birds. Also, vegetable colors are used in the making of natural resources. For instance, black is formed by blending soot and cow dung; yellow is made from turmeric, pollen, lime, milk of banyan leaves; blue from indigo; the red color is obtained from the Kusum flower juice or red sandalwood; green from wood apple tree leaves; white is made from rice powder and orange from Palasha flowers
