MADHUBANI ART

• Madhubani art (also Mithila art) is a style of painting practiced in the Mithila region of India and Nepal.
It is named after the Madhubani district of Bihar, India, which is where it originated.

• Madhubani painting is said to have developed in the ancient city of Mithila, the birth place of Sita, daughter of king Janak.

• It is said that the Mithila paintings were commissioned by the king to commemorate the marriage of his daughter to Lord Rama of Ayodhya.

• It was recognised as kulin art or art of the pure castes. It continues to flourish as a household art, mainly as social customs and practises.

• Madhubani painting is a living tradition based on principles of dualisms, where opposites run in dualisms - day or night, sun or moon, etc.

• They represent a holistic universe, inundated with deities, sun and moon, flora and fauna, among others. It also includes symbols from buddhism, tantric symbols, Islamic sufism, and classical Hinduism.

I hope u all liked the painting & some points describing about madhubani art.
