Madhubani art also known as Mithila painting is a traditional Indian folk artwork done on canvas, cloth, floor, walls, paper etc. It is named due to its origin in the Mithila region of India and Nepal, where women spent a lot of time making these paintings using their keen sense of beauty to create evocative paintings of gods and goddesses, animals and characters from mythology, marriages, festivals, Sun and Moon and many more.

Madhubani painting is done with a variety of tools, including fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks and using natural dyes and pigments. Madhubani paintings are made from the paste of powdered rice, the colors used are derived from plants, tree bark, flowers, leaves, and other natural sources .Natural colours used in Madhubani painting always convey a softer, more harmonized appearance.

Madhubani painting is characterised by its eye-catching geometrical patterns and vibrant colors. Generally, no space is left empty; the gaps are filled by paintings of flowers, animals, birds, and even geometric designs.

Madhubani painting has remained confined to a compact geographical area and the skills have been passed on through centuries. Madhubani painting has received GI (Geographical Indication) status.
