लोग

|---|---|---|---|
| Vidyapati | c. 1350–1450 | Poet | Wrote in Maithili when the learned wrote in Sanskrit, and produced a body of song still performed from memory across the region. His padas influenced Bengali and Assamese Vaishnav poetry directly, and he is claimed by three literatures. |
| Gangesha Upadhyaya | Thirteenth–fourteenth century | Philosopher | Wrote the Tattvachintamani and founded Navya-Nyaya, the new logic — a rigorous analytical system that became the working method of Sanskrit scholarship across India for the next five centuries. |
| Mandan Mishra | Eighth century | Philosopher | The Mimamsa scholar of Mahishi whose debate with Shankaracharya, judged by his wife Bharati, is one of the foundational stories of Indian intellectual history. |
| Vachaspati Mishra | Ninth–tenth century | Philosopher | Wrote authoritative commentaries on all six schools of Indian philosophy, and named his best-known work Bhamati after his wife. |
| Jyotirishwar Thakur | Fourteenth century | Writer | Wrote the Varna Ratnakara, the earliest surviving prose work in Maithili and among the earliest in any modern Indian language — a catalogue of the world as a fourteenth-century Maithil saw it. |
| Jagdamba Devi | 1918–1985 | Painter | Of Jitwarpur; the first Mithila painter to receive the Padma Shri, in 1975, and one of the women whose work moved the tradition from wall to paper. |
| Sita Devi and Ganga Devi | 1914–2005; 1928–1991 | Painters | Two of the founding figures of Mithila painting as a public art. Ganga Devi's late cycles, including her paintings made during cancer treatment, turned the idiom towards autobiography. |

| Baba Nagarjun (Vaidyanath Mishra) | 1911–1998 | Poet | Wrote in Maithili as 'Yatri' and in Hindi as Nagarjun; a political poet who spent his life travelling on foot and writing about famine, flood and the state. |
| Karpoori Thakur | 1924–1988 | Politics | From Pitaunjhia in Samastipur; twice Chief Minister of Bihar, architect of the state's reservation policy, and remembered for having died with no property to his name. Awarded the Bharat Ratna in 2024. |
| Maharaja Kameshwar Singh | 1907–1962 | Zamindar and patron | The last Maharaja of Darbhanga, who endowed universities, temples and hospitals across Bihar and whose estate's dissolution after 1950 reshaped the region's land economy. |
| Lalit Narayan Mishra | 1923–1975 | Politics | Union railway minister from Darbhanga, associated with the region's rail expansion, and assassinated at Samastipur in 1975. |
