Brief
about District
Madhubani
is an administrative district in the state of Bihar
in India. The district headquarters are located at
Madhubani.
The district occupies an area of 3501 km²
and has a population of 3,570,651 (as of 2001).
This is the centre of Mithila, a region where the
main language is Maithili.
The "Madhubani" style of paintings derives its name
from this region as the style originated here, in
the early 17th century.
These paintings are made using vegetable dyes, and
the canvas is usually cloth or paper.
These days, several of the well-known "Mahubani" paintings
are used as motifs on bags, kurtas ( an Indian garment
for covering the upper-half of the body),
and other materials produced using the hand-block
painting technique.
With ethnic-chic being in vogue, such products are
all the rage, these days, not just with the indians,
but also in the export market.
