Madhubani Art (or Mithila painting) is a folk art form originating in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. It was named after Madhubani District of Bihar, India which is where it is originated. It is characterised by its eye-catching geometrical patterns. Madhubani painting was created by the women of various communities in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. The paintings were traditionally done on freshly plastered mud walls and floors of huts, but now they are also done on cloth, handmade paper and canvas. Madhubani paints are made from the paste of powdered rice and applied with with various tools, such as fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks. The paintings mostly depict people and their association with nature and scenes and deities from the ancient epics. Natural objects like the sun, the moon, and religious plants like tulsi are also widely painted, along with scenes from the royal court and social events like weddings. In this paintings generally, no space is left empty; the gaps are filled by paintings of flowers, animals, birds, and geometric designs. It is still practiced and kept alive in institutions spread across the Mithila region.
