KATHMANDU: An ambitious campaign has been launched to promote Mithila’s cultural identity and elevate Mithila art on the global stage.
The initiative aims to bring recognition to the unique artistic heritage of the Mithila region, which is renowned for its vibrant and intricate Madhubani paintings.
As part of this effort, artists have started painting a wide range of murals and artwork on the walls of Janakpur, the heart of Mithila culture.
These paintings are not only visually striking but are also symbolic of the rich traditions and history of the region, with themes that celebrate Mithila’s folklore, mythology, and daily life.
The initiative has gained significant attention, with notable public spaces also participating in the project. In a significant move, murals have been painted at the Chief Minister’s Office, marking a step towards integrating Mithila’s art into official and public spaces.
These artistic expressions aim to inspire both local residents and visitors, reinforcing the cultural pride of the region.
This effort is expected to boost tourism, increase global awareness of Mithila’s artistic legacy, and support local artists by providing them with a platform to showcase their talent.
The project is a step towards preserving and promoting the distinctive cultural identity of Mithila while creating a lasting legacy for future generations.
