The world-famous painting style is found in the Madhubani district of Bihar. Madhubani painting is also known as Mithila painting. It originated and developed in the Mithila region of Bihar. Madhubani paintings feature line drawings filled with vibrant colors and contrasts; the figures depicted often highlight striking eyes. These paintings lack a sense of depth or perspective (shading), making them two-dimensional. They often feature stylized depictions of gods and goddesses. These paintings are created on auspicious occasions such as births, weddings, and festivals. Natural colors are used in these paintings.
