  Whenever we heard about Bihar, the first word that strikes in our mind is its fine painting namely Madhubani painting.The art form is incredibly old and the name ‘Madhubani’ which means, ‘forest of honey'. 

Earlier,paintings were made by women on mud-walls of their houses during religious occasions. Today, this artwork can be found on an international platform on mediums like cloth, paper, canvas, paper-made products, etc. There are several dedicated organizations that work to support this unique form of Indian art. There are a lot of galleries that contain Madhubani paintings both in India and in other countries. These organizations also work with the Madhubani artists to promote this form of art.
