Kamaldah Aripan – Aripan Art – Aripan is a type of Mithila art that originated in the Mithila region of Bihar, particularly in the village of Madhubani. It is generally believed that it was created during the epic period when King Janak of Mithila ordered the marriage hall to be decorated for his daughter Sita’s marriage to Lord Rama. Aripan is a variation of Rangoli, practiced in Bihar. The Aripan floor painting is derived from the Sanskrit word Alepan(meaning – to smear). It refers to smearing the ground with cow dung and clay for the purpose of purification. Initially, Aripan designs were made as an offering to appease the Gods to make the cultivable land fertile and fruitful. However, in the present day it has become a part of the numerous day to day ceremonies and rituals. Aripan is drawn, both for adornment and purification.
