Madhubani Parasmani Travel

In 1972  Madhubani was made a separate district and set apart from the old Darbhanga district. Today, it is a district headquarters that is situated about 26 kilometres from Darbhanga town, and was part of the largest zamindari of India, Darbhanga Raj. 'Madhuban' literally means forest of honey, which can be found in abundance near this historic town. This small, but beautiful village, attained great popularity due to its immensely famous art, known today as Madhubani painting. Historically, it has been a focal point of Maithili culture.



Madhubani has the distinction of being the birth place of some of the greatest literary figures of ancient India including the great poet Mahakavi Kalidas, Mahakavi Vidyapati, Vachaspati I and Vachaspati II.
