Product Description

Many research scholars generally agree- when some social, cultural, religious events go far beyond the recorded time period of history these become mythical. The myth of king Videh Janak- Videh meaning no attachment to his physical body, worldly wealth, power and pleasure - is related to his great-great Aryan grand-parents named Bidedha Madhav and Nimi, the former king established the country called Mithila-puri by crossing the river Narayani towards the end of Indus-valley (i.e. Sindh valley) civilization. The glorious golden period of king shreedhwaj janak is described in the great epics - The Ramayan, The Mahabharat and the Upanishad known as Brihadaranyak (i.e. simply meaning thick and extensive jungle). Thus, the origin of Mithila-art is rooted in the fertile soil of Mithila-now also known as Janakpur in Nepal and the Janak Dynasty. As Aryans of Hindus the people of Mithila worshipped and are still worshipping the spiritual deities by invoking them with some MANTRAS (i.e. sacred hymns) before they start any work. Thus, in the beginning of the creative painter-artists drew/made the pictures of spiritual Gods, Goddesses, mythical characters, plants and various creatures with their deep sense and feeling of devotion, love, reverence to spiritual deities and with respect and affection to various creatures with some symbolic-meanings due to their spiritual faith in Pantheism.
