It is known for its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and symbolic imagery. The name "Madhubani" is derived from the Madhubani district in Bihar, where this art form has been practiced for centuries. Traditionally, it was predominantly practiced by women, who used it as a medium to express cultural narratives, religious beliefs, and social events.
