INTRODUCTION

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The name Madhubani is derived from the word "Madhuban" meaning “ forest of honey". Also, the word Madhubani is got by joining the words "madhu" and "vaani", meaning "sweet voice/language".

There are no pre-historic sites in Madhubani though remains of the earliest aboriginal population known as the Tharus, Bhars, Kiratas, etc., can be seen here. They wielded power in Madhubani region prior to its Aryanisation and Shiva worship was in vogue. The kingdom of Videha, ruled by a successive line of kings known as Janakas, included Madhubani. The royalty and nobility- although the vanguard of Aryan culture, took to worshipping Shiva in consonance with the faith of their subjects. According to Mahabharata tradition, the Pandavas during their exile stayed in the region of Madhubani district.

Bimbisar, the founder of the Magadhan empire, and his son Ajatshatru aspired to rule over the whole of Aryan land. Ajatshatru subdued the Lichchhavis, conquered the entire north Bihar and brought Mithila under their suzerainty. Both Jain and the Buddhist literatures contain innumerable references to Madhubani which shows that Madhubani region was deeply influenced by their teachings. Buddha's devout disciple Anand was a Vaidehamuni, a monk of the land of Videhas.
