Madhubani painting is practised in the Mithila region of Bihar. Themes revolve around Hindu deities and epic tales, especially tales of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and scenes of social events like weddings. No space is left empty: gaps are filled in with paintings of flowers, animals, birds and geometric designs. Artists use natural dyes and pigment extracted from leaves, herbs and flowers.
