Madhubani Folk Art in Wood
The Craft Tradition
Known as
Madhubani / Mithila Art
Bihar's toy tradition is deeply connected to Madhubani folk art. Women artisans paint wooden puzzles, blocks, and figurines with the same intricate patterns used in Madhubani paintings — fish, lotus, peacock, and geometric motifs.
Cultural Significance
"Madhubani art originated as wall paintings for weddings and festivals. Applying it to wooden toys has created a new livelihood for women artisans in the Mithila region."
