Fire Fish at the Sacred Tree by Vidushini Prasad (Unframed)

Two bold, flame-coloured fish flank a sacred tree in this intensely ornamental Madhubani painting. The fish – painted in vivid shades of saffron, red and yellow – face inward toward the tree’s trunk, their expressive round eyes and scalloped body patterns rendered in impeccable Madhubani tradition. The entire composition burns with warmth: marigold blooms, sun-like florals, and layered foliage fill every corner in harmonious density. Set on natural handmade paper with a crimson border, this painting radiates energy and auspiciousness – the fish guarding the tree of life is one of the oldest motifs in Mithila iconography.
