Interference Pattern from two coherent light sources

Can anybody explain why the bright and dark fringes exist during the the interference phenomenon from two coherent sources.. I wanted to know why that specific pattern occurs

For a question that general, the answer would be that you get bright fringes where the waves are in phase and dark fringes where they are out of phase, and to see a textbook for details. The explanation on Wikipedia looks reasonable.
