I think that Madhubani painting is the correct name of this style of painintg thogh it is practiced in Mithila region. Google returns much more results for Madhubani painting. Moreover, a postal stamp issued by Government of India has captioned the stamp as Madhubani-Mithila paiting [1]. As such, the world Madhubani should be sued. Further, Encyclopedia returns nil result for Mithila Paiting [2] whereas several results are found for Madhubani painting [3]. I think that Mithila painting is the wrong name for this page and the page should be reverted to its original palce - Madhubani painting. Kindly comments. Thanks. --Bhadani (talk) 19:53, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

You're absolutely right. The original move was performed without discussion, perhaps by someone not acquainted with the term. I have moved it to Madhubani art, another term, because the page was impossible to find when I searched for that. --Ranveig 12:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Aks.abhishek (talk) 03:10, 6 November 2008 (UTC) I suspect the usage of the term "Madhubani Painting" to refer to "Mithila Painting/Art". Is it better to rename the term just because some search engines do not return any result under the search string "Mithila Painting", or the term should be used to reveal what is truth. I think this may be against the principles of Wikipedia itself. "Ease" should not be prioritized against truth, and in this case, this may even point to biasing and favouring Madhubani for the whole art itself. There is no doubt that it is practised at an immense level in Madhubani, but still the city alone is not responsible for the art. I would like to suggest the admins to change the name of this article of "Mithila Art" which in my views will be more suitable.
