About Madhubani Painting

The Madhubani style of painting is also known as Mithila art for it has been originated in the Mithila region of Bihar. Madhubani literally means the forest of honey. And, to take the legacy a step further, this art has been taken to piece of paper, canvas and cloth so as to commercialize the artwork.

Traditionally, Madhubani painting was practised by the women of the Madhubani village, who used to decorate their homes and surroundings with unique patterns and forms. The art of Madhubani dates back to the ancient times of the Ramayana. An interesting piece of information states that King Janaka ordered the artists of his court to paint pictures during the wedding of his daughter Sita with Lord Rama. Hence, the paintings today as well, showcase Hindu mythology and religious beliefs with Hindu deities to surround the main theme of the Madhubani type of painting.

Most Madhubani artworks also include depiction of natural elements such as birds, animals, trees, flowers and especially village life. The patterns are geometric-based and generally no space is left vacant, the entire canvas or the paper is entirely filled with designs. About the colours, bright shades of blue, black, red, yellow and green are used. These colours are naturally procured.
