HISTORY OF MITHILA

Content: The custom includes four days of marriage ceremonies called: Barsait,Chautrthi, Madhushravni, Kojagara, and finally Dwiragman (the first homecoming of the bride). The marriage is traditionally fixed using complex genealogical tables, called Panji among Brahmins, Dev-Chaudhary “ Deo and Karna Kayasthas which are maintained by Panjikars, a special group of Brahmins who prevent marriages among relatives up to sixth degree in Matripaksha and seventh in Pitripakksha. The name Mithila is also used to refer to a style of Hindu art, Madhubani art, created in the Mithila area. This art originated as ritual geometric and symbolic decorations on the walls and floors of a house, generally done by women before a marriage. The custom was not known to many outside the region. After paper was brought to the area, women began to sell their artwork and expand their subjects to popular and local Hindu deities as well as to the depiction of everyday events. Ganga Devi and bharti dayal is perhaps the most famous Mithila artist;their work includes traditional ritual Mithila decorations, depictions of popular deities, scenes from the Ramayana, and events in life.bharti's work is most contemporary without deviating from core traditional mithila painting . Folk stories are called grandmother stories in Mithila. The story of Gonu Jha is one popular tale.
