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. Jitwarpur and Ranti are the two most notable cities associated with the tradition and evolution of Madhubani art. Madhubani paintings are a type of folk-art form. The painting of Madhubani is represented by line drawings filled with bright colours and contrasts or patterns.
