Bihar’s Madhubani and Mithila regions are living art galleries, where walls tell stories and colours echo culture. The Mithila Art Trail is one of the most authentic experiences for travellers seeking creativity, and for agents seeking experiential tourism opportunities. At House of Ullassa, we bring this tradition closer to travellers across the world.
The Essence of Madhubani Art
Madhubani art originated in the Mithila region of Bihar and Nepal, traditionally practiced by women using natural dyes and pigments. The paintings depict scenes from Hindu epics, nature, and daily life each with symbolic significance.
