Madhubani is the famous art which originated in the Mithila region of Bihar (India). This art is considered to be as old as the era in which Ramayana was set. It is said that the inhabitants of the Mithila region painted their home and streets with this Madhubani art to celebrate the wedding of Lord Ram and Sita.
This art form was majorly done and redone on walls (mural paintings) and floor to mark the special occassions and festivities using natural colors and twigs of the tree available. These days it is done using acrylic paints and brush. And also we can see new arts and artifacts being created like on canvas, fabric, wooden base etc which has a global appeal.
Madhubani painting has become one of the sources of income in the Mithila region. Madhubani painting has received Geographical Indication (GI)
