From Bihar to G20: The Journey of Madhubani Art & Artists

While covering the Bihar elections, Team Organiser took a cultural detour to Jitwarpur village in Madhubani district - the heartland of India’s world-famous Mithila or Madhubani painting tradition. What we found was extraordinary - entire homes turned into living canvases, walls adorned with stories of gods, nature, and womanhood.

In this exclusive ground report, we spoke with Padma Shri awardees Shivam Paswan and Shanti Devi Paswan, as well as several women artists and students who continue to preserve and innovate this ancient art form. From Godna painting to matchstick art and natural colour preparation, every brushstroke carries centuries of tradition and resilience.

The artists shared how Madhubani painting has broken caste barriers, empowered women to become financially independent, and transformed their lives, especially over the last decade under the PM Modi government. Today, these artists are not only recognised nationally but have also showcased their work at G20 summits and international platforms.
