Bihar's Madhubani district, located in the northern region of the state, is renowned for its unique art style and colorful paintings. The distinct Madhubani style of painting that originates from this area dates back thousands of years, making it a must-see destination for those interested in traditional arts and culture. Although the original purpose of these exquisite works was to decorate walls and floors during special occasions and rituals, modern artists can now be found creating intricate designs on paper for sale. Bihar Tourism further encourages visitors to partake in workshops offering instruction on recreating Madhubani artworks or even commissioning a one-of-a-kind piece from regional artisans. Madhubani provides a perfect opportunity to enjoy this timeless tradition while exploring all that rural India has to offer.
