Maithils
[6] The Mithila region forms an important part of Hinduism as it is said to be the birthplace of Sita, the wife of Ram and incarnation of Lakshmi.[7] Mithila first gained prominence after being settled by Indo-Aryan speaking peoples who established the Videha kingdom.During the late Vedic period (c. 1100–500 BCE), Videha became one of the major political and cultural centers of South Asia, along with Kuru and Pañcāla.[37] Some traditional pandits still use Tirhuta script for pātā (ceremonial letters related to important functions, such as marriage).Kurta and Dhoti with a Mithila Painting bordered Maroon coloured Gamchha which is the Symbol of Passion, Love, Bravery and Courage are common clothing items for men.Men wear a Gold ring on their nose which symbolizes prosperity, happiness and wealth inspired by Lord Vishnu.Traditionally Maithils lived in Badaghars called longhouses with big families of many generations, sometimes 40–50 people.[40] The religious practices of the Maithils is based on orthodox Hinduism as Mithila has historically been a principal seat of Hindu learning.
