Mithila art, which originates from the Mithila region of Nepal, is a unique and vibrant style of painting that holds great cultural significance. This art form showcases the immense creativity of the artists who use a range of mediums, such as their fingers, twigs, brushes, nib pens, matchsticks, natural dyes, and pigments to create mesmerizing masterpieces. The artists bring to life a colorful depiction of story-telling.

The roots of Mithila art can be traced back to the legendary tale of King Janak, who commanded his subjects to embellish the walls of their homes to welcome Lord Ram when he sought the hand of his daughter Sita in marriage. In those early days, Mithila paintings were crafted using ingredients like flour, clay, and cow dung, and they were predominantly created during weddings, festivals, and feasts.

Originally practiced by women from various communities, Mithila painting has become an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Mithila region. Initially limited to adorning freshly plastered mud walls and floors of humble huts, this art form has evolved to include mediums such as cloth, handmade paper, and canvas.
