Nakshi Elephant Madhubani Painting
A very beautiful painting of elephants walking in the jungle. Meticulous artwork is done on the entire painting and creates a delightfully magnificent art. Elephants symbolize wisdom and peace. In the Hindu mythology, elephants are worshipped and adored. They are looked upon as the form of Ganesha, the Lord of wisdom and luck. Elephants are the most beautiful loving animals full of love and compassion.
Madhubani, which by one account means Forest of Honey, (‘Madhu’-honey, ‘Ban’-forest or woods) is a region in the Mithila region of Nepal and the northern part (Madhubani district) of Bihar. The Madhubani paintings are an ancient style of painting that originated 2500 years ago. Legend has it that The King of Mithila ( a region now in modern Nepal and with its capital Janakpur) had first commissioned rural artists to paint the palace walls. The occasion was his daughter’s wedding. The name of his daughter was Sita and the bridegroom was Lord Rama.
