A Moment of Pride for Every Madhubani Artist!

The Bihar State Sports Authority has officially entered the Guinness World Records for creating the world’s largest Madhubani painting on canvas — a magnificent masterpiece made with natural colours like turmeric, beetroot, carbon, and flowers. 



Over three days, 50 students from the Mithila Chitrakala Sansthan, guided by six faculty members, brought this vision to life — painting not just a canvas, but a legacy. This record-breaking artwork is more than just a feat of scale; it’s a vibrant tribute to the timeless beauty of Mithila tradition

Speaking to ANI, Prateek Prabhakar, a teacher from the Mithila Chitrakala Sansthan, shared the details of this extraordinary accomplishment. "It is the largest painting on canvas made with natural colours. Fifty students from Mithila Chitrakala Sansthan worked on and completed this painting. These students were guided by six faculty members. All the colours used in this painting are natural, and it took us three days to complete it," said the teacher.




As a Madhubani artist, moments like this fill me with deep pride. To witness our age-old art form being celebrated on a global stage reaffirms everything we strive for — to preserve, promote, and evolve this living tradition. 

Let this record be a reminder: Madhubani is not just art — it is identity, storytelling, and soul.
