TRADITIONAL FOLK ART

What is Mithila (Madhubani) Painting?

Mithila painting, also widely known as Madhubani art, is a geographical-heritage style of painting that originated in the Mithila region of Bihar and Nepal. Traditionally, these paintings were rendered using natural pastes and mineral colors directly onto the freshly plastered mud walls and floors of houses during festivals, weddings, and child birth.

Characterized by complex geometrical patterns, two-dimensional shapes, double lines, and symbolic motifs, Mithila art narrates rich religious tales, scenes of village community life, and representations of nature—such as the iconic fish, peacocks, and divine celestial entities.
