ABOUT US

Madhubani painting is a renowned folk-art form that originates from the Mithila region, which includes the northern part of Bihar and the eastern Terai of Nepal. The beauty of Madhubani paintings lies in their simplicity and use of natural materials. Local plants are used for colors, cow dung treats the paper, and bamboo sticks serve as brushes. Traditionally, this art has been practiced by women painters who pass down their skills from one generation to another. These paintings are characterized by eye-catching geometrical patterns and often contain ritual content for specific occasions and festivals.

Historically, the Mithila region faced economic challenges due to droughts. In response, the All-India Handicrafts Board encouraged women to create Madhubani paintings on paper for commercial purposes, providing them with a new source of income. The roots of the Madhubani painting can be traced back to Hindu mythology, where King Janak requested these paintings to capture his daughter Sita’s wedding to Lord Rama.
