Mithila (IAST: mithilā, also known as Mithilanchal, Tirhut and Tirabhukti) is a geographical and cultural region located in the Indian subcontinent. The native language is known as Maithili and its speakers are referred to as Maithils.[1] The majority of the Mithila region falls within modern-day India, more specifically in the state of Bihar.[2] Mithila is bounded in the north by the Himalayas, and in the south, west and east by the Ganges, Gandaki and Mahananda respectively.[3][4] It extends into the southeastern Terai of Nepal.[5][6][7] This region was also called Tirabhukti, the ancient name of Tirhut.[8]
