Patna Madhubani Mithila Painting Craft Market

Patna's Patna Museum, Maurya Hotel craft shop, and Gandhi Maidan craft emporium are primary urban marketing points for Madhubani Mithila paintings produced in Darbhanga and Madhubani districts, connecting rural women artisans to urban and tourist buyers in Bihar's capital. Patna-based NGOs like Mithila Art Institute facilitate direct exhibitions where Madhubani painters sell to collectors and corporate buyers seeking authentic hand-painted works. The Bihar government's Chief Minister's Craft Programme uses Patna as the coordination centre for GI-certified Madhubani art marketing, setting quality standards and artist certification that enable export to European galleries and Indian museums.
