Gosaunik Geet (Maithili: गोसाउनिक गीत) are devotional folk songs sung in the Mithila region by Maithils through which they try to please their Kul Devi. It is sung during the auspicious occasions of Mundana, Upanayana and marriage, etc at the Gosaunik Ghar of Maithils. Vidyapati was one of the prominent Maithili poet who is credited for composing and singing the famous Gosaunik Geet "Jai Jai Bhairavi".
