Maithili Literature is a rich body of work originating from the Maithili language, primarily spoken in the Mithila region of India and Nepal. It encompasses various genres, including poetry, prose, and drama, reflecting the culture, traditions, and social issues of the Maithili-speaking community. The literature has a long history, with roots tracing back to the 14th century, notably with the works of Vidyapati, a prominent poet. Over the years, it has evolved, incorporating modern themes while preserving its unique linguistic and cultural identity. Today, Maithili literature continues to thrive, with many contemporary writers contributing to its growth.
