Anjeeta Amal has mastered the art of Mithila. This painting also makes a strong statement about the women of the world. As per the caption, “Name of the painting: Adweteeya. This painting celebrates womenhood. It celebrates the pious mother’s love, the caring sister, a loving daughter, a strong warrior for her children in danger, the epitome of beauty and with her the weapons in modern form of education, love, power and purity. My painting here supports all the strengths women have and is a plea to make people aware that yes, a female can be much more than just what the society imagines her to be. She can be calm and loving with sweetness and purity, but in time of need she can be also fierce and strong to punish the ones harming her.”

This painting by artist Kamlesh Roy is an ode to the life-giving trees. We see the tree painted in beautiful colors with animals surrounding it. The most eye-catching aspect of the painting is the fish swimming at the bottom.
