'Lisa Mausi' or 'Mona Lisa': Hilarious twitter thread on famous painting amuses netizens

One of the most well-known paintings in the world is the Mona Lisa. Everyone around the globe is familiar with Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, painted in the early 16th century. This artistic work portrays an image of a lady with simple attire, stray eyes and a mysterious smile. However, this painting has also become one of the most mocked pieces of art. And one such incident surfaced on social media when Mona Lisa can be seen wearing Indian sarees.  

Using a series of pictures, a Twitter user illustrated how Mona Lisa would appear if she was a resident of several Indian states. Taking to Twitter, Pooja Sangwan shared a hilarious avatar of the Mona Lisa which has taken the internet by storm. The very first tweet represents the renowned lady as "Lisa Mausi" who is inspired by women in South Delhi. In this picture, Mona Lisa is seen to be wearing a saree with a pearl necklace and a sunglass.
