Madhubani painting is a centuries old art form. The origins of Madhubani painting are shrouded in antiquity. Tradition states that this style of painting originated at the time of the Ramayana, when King Janak commissioned artists to do paintings at the time of marriage of his daughter, Sita, to Lord Ram. Madhubani painting  depicts nature and Hindu religious figures and the themes generally associated with Hindu deities, natural objects like sun, moon, and religious plants like tulsi. Besides this scenes from the royal court and social events like weddings are also widely drawn. In Madhubani 25000 people , out of which 40% percent are women, derive their livelihood from the same.

Madhubani art was earlier done by only rice paste and vegetable colors. Now with the changing trends and requirements, poster colors are also used. The natural colors last life long if certain precautions are maintained. The paintings appear three dimensional.
