Which of the following pairs of traditional Indian painting styles and their associated regions is correctly matched ?
Madhubani – Bihar
Madhubani (Mithila) painting comes from the Mithila region of Bihar, around Madhubani district; it is made with natural colours, has bold outlines and shows deities, nature and wedding scenes, and it has a GI tag.
The other pairs are wrong: Kalamkari is the hand-painted or block-printed textile art of Andhra Pradesh (Srikalahasti and Machilipatnam), not Karnataka.
Pithora is the ritual wall painting of the Rathwa and Bhil tribes of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, and Patachitra is the scroll painting tradition of Odisha and West Bengal, not Maharashtra or Assam.
Hence, Madhubani – Bihar.
