Warli, the form of rudimentary wall paintings, uses a very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle and a square.

The circle and triangle come from their observation of nature, the circle representing the sun and the moon,the triangle derived from mountains and pointed trees.

The central motif in these ritual paintings is surrounded by scenes portraying hunting, fishing and farming, festivals and dances, trees and animals.

Krishna is the 8th reincarnation of Lord Vishnu and the most romantic deity amongst all the deities.

Krishna portrayed as an infant, young boy playing a flute stealing heart of each and every person, flirtatious young Krishna doing ras leela or as a youthful prince giving direction and guidance, Krishna is being loved by all.

Since the time I remember, I was fascinated by 3 deities, one of them being Krishna. I have tried to portray Krishna in different leelas. Hope I have done the justice.

Traditionally this art was practiced by women to beautify their huts during religious occasions. Madhubani paintings mostly depict nature and Hindu religious motifs, and the themes generally revolve around Hindu deities like Krishna, Rama, Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati. Natural objects like the sun, the moon and religious plants like Tulsi are also widely painted, along with scenes from the royal court and social events like weddings. Generally no space is left empty ; the gaps are filled by paintings of flowers, animals, birds and even geometric designs.
