Mithila painting is the oldest form of painting recorded on Earth. Legend has it that Janak, the King of Mithila, had a daughter Sita out of Mother earth. When Sita got married to Lord Rama, Raja Janak got whole of his kingdom decorated with description of nature, earth, faith, joy & luck in natural colours made from flowers, turmeric, goat milk etc. These depictions later took the form of paintings. Continuing the ancient tradition, the women of Mithila still paint walls in different themes associated with nature, especially during weddings. That the women of Mithila can create this unique folk art on hand made papers, walls, clothes and different decor items, is due to their inborn talent.
