Madhubani painting, 'Surya, Sun God'

The sun disk dominates this quiet forest, representing the Indian deity Surya, god of the sun. His father is the sky god and his wife is Chaya, goddess of dawn. Dileep Kumar creates a handsome and complex painting in the ancient Madhubani style, using natural colors on handmade paper. As each painting is an individual creation, each is unique. Colors and motifs may vary slightly from that pictured.
