Madhubani painting is not one fixed visual formula. It contains household, ritual and commercial practices shaped by artists, materials, communities and changing markets across Mithila.
Traditionally associated with painted walls and floors, the work now travels across handmade paper, cloth, canvas and objects. A responsible account must keep the artist’s name and working context visible rather than treating every image as anonymous decoration.
