Madhubani Art is a style of Indian painting practiced in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. It was named after the Madhubani District of Bihar, India, where it originated. The paintings are done with various tools, such as fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks. Artists use natural dyes and pigments derived from plants, and the paste of powdered rice. There is ritual content for occasions, such as birth, marriage, and festivals. The paintings depict people and their association with nature and natural objects like the sun, the moon, animals, and plants.
