Mithila paintings serve as a visual record of the elaborate wedding rituals and ceremonies in the Mithila culture. They depict various stages of the wedding, from pre-wedding ceremonies to post-wedding customs, preserving these traditions for future generations.

Wedding themes are very common in Mithila paintings and are often related to Lord Ram and Devi Sita's wedding rituals, some of the most popular themes being Swayamvar and Jai Maala. In this workshop we will recreate those moments focusing on wedding rituals and the bride and the groom.
