Madhubani painting is one of the many famous Indian art forms and it is originated in the Mithila/Madhubani region of Bihar. Some of the initial references to the Madhubani painting can be found in the Epic Ramayana when King Janaka, asks his painters to create Madhubani paintings for his daughter Sita’s wedding with Rama. The knowledge was passed down from generation to generation and the paintings began to adorn the houses of the region. The women of the village practiced these paintings on the walls of their respective home. Their paintings often illustrated their thoughts, hopes and dreams. Over time, Madhubani paintings became a part of festivities and special events like weddings. The traditional base of plastered mud wall was soon replaced by handmade paper, cloth and canvas. Since the paintings have been confined to a limited geographical range, the themes as well as the style are more or less, the same.
