Indian Railways recent effort to paint coaches of Bihar Sampark Kranti with Mithila art has earned the appreciation of United Nations.

“How beautiful are these Indian Railways trains! Women from Bihar painted these coaches with traditional Mithila art, also known as Madhubani, using their fingers, tigs, matchsticks & brushes with natural dyes & pigments!” tweeted the UN.

Nine coached of the Bihar Sampark Kranti were painted with beautiful Mithila art.

Earlier, Madhubani art adorned the walls of several railways stations in Bihar.

Madhubani is a folk art of the Mithila region of Bihar that is known for using unique geometric patterns to create colourful paintings.

This is initiative is a part of a new trend to promote traditional art.
