| | About EFA and Mithila Painting |
 | | Yet it was paintings by Ganga Devi and Sita Devi thanks to government and private commissions in New Delhi and beyond, their national awards, and their GOI funded participation in cultural fairs and exhibitions around the world, that brought wide-spread audiences and attention to Mithila painting. |
 | | Sita Devi's elegant elongated and richly coloured paintings of Krishna, Radha, and other gods and goddesses, are well known. |
 | | Sita Devi, however, depicted her elegant figures surrounded by flowering trees, birds, and other animals using the Brahmin wall painting bharni, or "filling" technique, characterized by broad surfaces of bright reds, blues, green, yellows and oranges. |
