The beautiful Madhubani painting depicts the Sun God with all his vitality and power. The figure of the deity has been characteristically painted at the center of the canvas, with floral decorations around it. The Sun God is not only the center of the Universe, but also the harbinger of fortune and fertility. Two pairs of amorous bees signifying love, passion and fecundity are also seen on each side of the deity. Abundant use of yellow, red and orange, the colors of the sun and also of passion and productivity, complements the motif of the Sun God. The lush green hue is the symbol of youth and bloom. Executed on handmade paper, the painting produces an effect of life force and fertility.
