4. Madhubani paintingMadhubani - The folk art !!
It originated in the Madhubani district of Bihar better
known as Maithili painting. It is believed that when king
Janaka asked an artist to draw the wedding of his daughter
with Rama, he used this form of painting. Since then the
women of Mithila district decorate the walls and the floors
of their houses with Madhubani art during festivals. In
olden days they used twigs to draw the lines but in
modern times it is drawn with pen nibs. Our students have
tried to adopt the same style.
