Siddhartha Art Gallery, Babarmahal, is organising a Mithila art exhibition, starting on Wednesday, at its premises. The exhibition will feature paintings by artist SC Suman. Known for his treatment of the nuances of Mithila art, the artist with his present work draws inspiration from the Kalpavriksha, which in folklore is a wish-granting tree. 

Within this theme of Kalpavriksha, some of the paintings on display also play with the themes 

relating to the impacts of earthquakes. The paintings touch upon the continuous exploration of a 

deeply-rooted relationship with nature. The exhibit will be on display for a month until March 2.
