His ancestral village is Bijbani, Bankatwa which sits close to the banks of the Aruna River , a tributary of the Bagmati River. His father ~~name is~~ Shiv Kumar Sah and ~~her~~ mother ~~name is~~ Gena Devi.		Madhurendra Kumar was born on 5 September 1994 in Barwakala, Ghodasahan in the East Champaran district of [[Bihar]], [[India]]. His ancestral village is Bijbani, Bankatwa which sits close to the banks of the Aruna River , a tributary of the Bagmati River.His father, Shiv Kumar Sah, was a farmer, and his mother, Gena Devi, was a homemaker.

	As he grew up , Madhurendra came from a financially struggling home and that made childhood feel a bit heavy. Because money was tight, he wasn’t just studying. He would often help his family by grazing goats, selling vegetables , weaving bamboo baskets, selling curd, working in local hotels, painting signboards, and doing other small but steady jobs so his education could continue.

	His creative streak was first noticed by his grandfather, Ramchandra Sah, who encouraged him after seeing how easily Madhurendra could create figures and drawings using mud and natural materials. Later , while he was tending livestock near the river edge, he started shaping sand into miniature houses and sculptures, almost like a quiet habit. At that time he probably didn’t realize it, but it became the seed for what he would do later in life.

	Even with all those pressures, he kept going with his studies and eventually earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Sculpture, and later a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith (MGKV), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
