Mithila Center USA was established to preserve, celebrate, and promote the rich heritage of Mithila — the cultural region spanning parts of northern Bihar, India and the Terai of Nepal. Rooted in the traditions of Janakpur and the wider Mithila region, the organization was created to give Mithila culture a meaningful platform in the United States and beyond.

What began as a cultural initiative has grown into a broader movement that connects artists, families, youth, and communities across Nepal, India, and the diaspora. Through exhibitions, festivals, workshops, and public programs, Mithila Center USA has helped bring Mithila heritage into community spaces, civic venues, and international platforms.

The organization believes Mithila culture is a living tradition — expressed through art, rituals, storytelling, language, and collective identity. Its work is centered on preserving that legacy with authenticity while ensuring it remains relevant and accessible for future generations.
