Ever noticed stunning paintings on train sarees or purses?

That's the magic of Madhubani art – one of India's most iconic folk styles, born in Bihar's Mithila region, especially Madhubani district.

Traditionally painted by village women on walls and courtyards, legend says it started when King Janak decorated Mithila for Ram-Sita's wedding.

Known for bright natural colors (from flowers, leaves, turmeric, coal), intricate patterns, and divine motifs like Ram, Krishna, Durga, and nature scenes – today it adorns clothes, canvases, decor, and is loved globally.
