Hannover, Apr 12 (IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday presented to the Lord Mayor of Hannover a Madhubani painting depicting various stages of life, association with nature, as also the interconnected nature of life on Earth. The painting is painted on canvas by a 70-year old national award winning artist, Baua Devi.
