Madhubani is a traditional Indian folk art from the Mithila region of Bihar. It can be traced back to the Ramayana era (about 7th century BCE).
The painting, practiced primarily by women to decorate walls during weddings and festivals, depicts mythology, nature, and daily life. This style of painting is characterized by its use of bright colors, geometric patterns, and stylized figures.
Surfaces are first prepared using cow dung and mud for texture. Outlines are drawn freehand using twigs or fine brushes. Spaces are filled with natural colors, and patterns include double lines, dots, and geometric shapes.
