Due to the passive behavior of the government towards the promotion of tourism and preservation of historical antiques and places of a century-long civilization, I need your concern …
Today after a long interval I am writing something like a blog post of Mithila. Though this should be the first blog post, the post itself describes the place, their people, their culture, their tradition, living conditions, etc. There was a time when the people of Mithilanchal used to wear ‘kurta-dhoti’, but because of the …
