Mithila painting — also known as Madhubani painting — is one of India's oldest and most celebrated folk art traditions, originating from the Mithila region of Bihar over 2,500 years ago. Each painting on Kritira is hand-painted by master artists using traditional natural colors and acrylic pigments, featuring intricate motifs of gods, nature, animals, and geometric patterns that tell the stories of Indian mythology and daily life.
When you buy a Mithila painting from Kritira, you bring home a certified original artwork — not a print or reproduction. Every piece is sourced directly from traditional artisan families in Madhubani, Darbhanga and Sitamarhi districts of Bihar, ensuring authentic craftsmanship and fair support for the artists. Available in Small (8×12 in) to Very Large (30×40 in) sizes, with optional custom framing.
