  • The story behind the art:

    Madhubani painting or Mithila paintings originate from the ancient Mithila region of Bihar in India. Madhubani literally translates to "Forest of honey", and the origin of this art traces back to the times of the epic Ramayana, when it is believed that the King Janaka asked his court artists to paint scenes of the wedding of his daughter Sita to Rama. There are three main themes in Madhubani art - Nature, Social occasions and Religious stories that have all come together to become tales of legend and myth.
