Dancing Fish (Bhoot) Godhna Style Madhubani Painting
By State Award Winner Artist – Ranju Devi

Celebrate the deep cultural heritage of Mithila with this rare Godhna-style Madhubani painting featuring lively Dancing Fish (Bhoot) motifs inspired by the legendary Raja Salhesh, a revered folk hero especially celebrated among the Harijan community of Bihar. Hand-painted by State Award winning artist Ranju Devi, this artwork reflects both spiritual symbolism and community pride.

The composition showcases concentric circular patterns filled with rhythmic fish–bhoot figures, echoing the ancient Godhna (tattoo) tradition known for its fine lines, symbolic patterns, and sacred geometry. In Mithila belief, fish symbolize prosperity, fertility, and good fortune, while the dancing forms convey celebration, divine protection, and cultural legacy.

Inspiration – Raja Salhesh

Raja Salhesh is honored as a protector king and cultural hero whose epic tales celebrate justice, bravery, nature worship, and unity among tribes and communities. Believed to command nature’s spirits—including the bhoot (guardian spirits)—he represents strength, dignity, and the spirit of the common people. This artwork beautifully reflects that legacy through its dynamic circular rhythm and symbolic dance motifs.

Monochrome tones, intricate borders, and traditional pen-line detailing make this a museum-grade collector’s piece, ideal for elegant interiors and culturally inspired spaces.
