This piece is done in the style of Eastern Indian folk art, which is known as "Mithila/Madhubani Painting." This style is around 5000 years old and is used to depict religious and auspicious themes as well as certain emotional concepts. Similarly, "Machli Raas" was made to put emphasis on the theme of fertility, joy, prosperity and the interconnectedness of life. These fish in a harmonious and celebratory dance embody these emotions from Hindu philosophy with their vibrant colors and patterns.
