Madhubani art is a traditional
Indian folk art form originated
in the Mithila region of Bihar
Space for practice
Madhubani painting is practiced
in the Mithila region of India
and Nepal. Local artists create
these paintings using a variety
of mediums, including their own
fingers, or twigs, brushes, nib-
pens, and matchsticks. The paint
is created using natural dyes and
pigments. There is ritual content
for particular occasions, such as
birth or marriage, and festivals,
such as Holi, Surya Shasti, Kali
Puja, Upanayana, and Durga
Puja.
The painting of Madhubani is
represented by line drawings
filled with bright colours and
contrasts or patterns. It is also
known as Mithila painting.
