Discussion
Which one of the following statements is true about Madhubani paintings and the area in which they originated?
Answer: D
The true statement is that Madhubani painting has its roots in the Mithila region of Bihar and is made with a rice-paste base in which colours are mixed.
Madhubani, or Mithila, painting is a folk art of the Mithila region, named after Madhubani district in Bihar. It was traditionally done by women on the mud walls and floors of homes using natural colours, with rice paste as a base.
It did not originate in Rajasthan. It is a folk tradition based on local life, nature and religious themes, not one shaped mainly by Mughal art. The option of floor painting 'with brush and indigo' misdescribes its materials.
