Madhubani is a name known to artists worldwise, it is renowned by its Madhubani paintings! These are the traditional paintings made on cloth, paper or canvas. Colours made from resources like flowers, turmeric, soot, leaves and wood bark. The themes are generally of gods, goddesses and nature.
This district is bordered by Nepal at its northern front while Darbhanga to its south. The towns and villages here are green and cattle rearing is one of the major activities along with farming.
Major rivers here are Kamla, Kareh, Balan and Tiljuga . The Kamla Balan bridge over Kamla river is one such unique bridge which is common for railway(meter guage) as well as roadway! Though currently a parallel bridge is under construction to get rid of traffic jams, lets hope this bridge gets preserved in long run!
Some of the religious places here include Bhawanipur, Kapileswarsthan, Saurath, Uchaitha.
