Madhubani painting or Mithila painting is a technique of
Hindu Painting, performed in the Mithila region of Nepal and in Indian States
of Bihar. Painting is made with fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and
matchsticks, using usual dyes and pigments, and is differentiated by
eye-catching geometrical prototypes.
Madhubani art has five unique styles, namely, Bharni,
Katchni, Tantrik, Nepali and Gobar. In the 1960s Bharni, Kachni and Tantrik manner
were majorly made by Brahman and Kayashth women, who are higher caste women in
India and Nepal. Their subjects were majorly religious, and they portrayed Gods
and Goddesses in their works. People of minor castes and classes comprised
aspects of their daily life and representations of Gods and Goddesses much
more, in their art works. The Godna and Gobar method is prepared by the Dalit and
Dushadh communities.
