Collection: Madhubani

Madhubani art, also known as Mithila art, is a traditional painting style originating from the Mithila region of India and Nepal. Its name is derived from the Madhubani district in Bihar, India, where it first emerged. Jitwarpur and Ranti are renowned cities linked to the evolution and tradition of this exquisite art form. Historically, it was practiced solely by female artists, who used a variety of mediums including fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks. To create these vibrant paintings, natural dyes and pigments are used. The iconic geometrical patterns make these pieces visually captivating. They also hold ritual significance for special occasions like birth or marriage, as well as festivals such as Holi, Surya Shasti, Kali Puja, Upanayana, and Durga Puja. Traditionally, this skill was passed down from one generation of women to the next in the families of the Mithila.
