Madhubani painting, also known as Mithila art, is a traditional style of painting practiced in the Mithila region of Bihar, India. Historically done on mud walls during auspicious occasions like weddings and festivals, this beautiful art form features complex geometrical patterns, flora, fauna, and religious figures. The colors used are derived entirely from natural resources like indigo, turmeric, pollen, and sandalwood, giving the art its unique texture and durability. Today, artisans from Katihar and other regions continue to preserve this heritage, translating these ancient designs onto handmade paper, fabrics, and canvas.
