Mangala is represented as a red man with four arms, riding a sheep. He wears clothes of the same color. He holds a trident, a mace and a lotus in three of his hands. "If a person be born under the planet Mangala, he will be full of anxious thoughts, wounded with offensive weapons, oppressed with fears and will lost fortune and reputations". This deity is identical with Karttikeya.
As in most Madhubani paintings, the basic colors are flatly applied. Mangala's flowing cloak is painted in shimmering yellow, that provides an excellent backdrop to the red. The border consists of a black strip populated by red flowers.
