Madhubani district

Madhubani district is an administrative area in northeastern Bihar bordering Nepal and organized into five administrative subdivisions. The territory is divided into twenty-one local blocks that form its administrative structure.

The district was separated from Darbhanga in 1972 and gained its own administrative status. The archaeological site of Baliraajgadh indicates the region's earlier importance during the Mithila Kingdom period.

Women throughout the region create traditional paintings with geometric patterns and natural pigments, a craft passed down through generations. This art form shapes daily life and appears in homes and public spaces across the district.

The district connects to Nepal through Laukaha town, establishing a trade route to the Nepalese settlement of Thadi. This link facilitates commerce and movement between the two regions.

In 2019 a meteorite landed on farmland and was later named by scientists who studied it. The discovery provided insights into space material and continues to interest researchers.
