The ancient city, Madhubani in Bihar is known for the rich arts and culture the region strives for. Mentioned in Ramayana, the city is known for its world-famous Madhubani paintings and its origins lie here. Madhubani came from Darbhanga district in Bihar in 1972 during a land reform. This small district is slowly growing as a tourist attraction among art lovers who come here to discover Madhubani paintings. These paintings are made mainly by women. Natural colors are used and paintings are made on canvas, walls, floors of sacred shrines, etc. With Nepal in the north, Darbhanga in the south, and Sitamarhi and Supaul on both sides, Madhubani is also an important commercial city in the Madhubani region.
