The initiative
MithilaDwaar is led by Shivam Jha (ShivamJHA) — with contributions from Maithili writers, learners, and friends of Mithila who believe the language deserves a proper home on the internet.

Why we exist
Mithila gave the world Vidyapati's poetry, Madhubani painting, Chhath Puja, and a civilisation tied to Raja Janak and Mata Sita. But online, Maithili content is scattered — short blog posts, outdated pages, or material copied without context.
MithilaDwaar is our answer: one trusted place to translate, learn, read, and celebrate Mithila — built for the next generation and for anyone who wants to understand this region with respect.
“मिथिलाक गौरव, विश्वक दरबार।” — Mithila's pride, on the world's stage.

About Mithila →Editorial standards
We treat Mithila's culture as heritage, not content fodder. Every article should help someone learn something true.
Original & respectful
We prioritise first-hand Maithili voices, documented traditions, and sources we can cite — not copied Wikipedia text.
Tri-lingual where it matters
Key articles and blog posts are offered in Maithili, Hindi, and English so readers across India and the diaspora can participate.
Corrections welcome
Culture is living. If a ritual name, date, or translation is wrong, tell us — we update in good faith and credit contributors.
No sensationalism
We explain festivals, art, and identity with dignity. Clickbait headlines and unverified claims do not belong on MithilaDwaar.
