+- **Total Examples:** 2520
+- **Splits:**
+  - train: 2016 examples
+  - validation: 504 examples

+
+### Dataset Summary
+
+The Marathi Handwritten Text Dataset is a collection of handwritten text images in Marathi (देवनागरी लिपी),
+aimed at supporting the development of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems, handwriting analysis tools,
+and language research.The dataset was curated from native Marathi speakers to ensure a variety of handwriting styles and character variations.
+The dataset contains 2520 images with two categories:
+- बाराखडी (Barakhadi/syllables): 560 characters
+- शब्द (Words): 1949 words
+- Image Format: PNG
+- Label Format: Text file
+- Image Dimensions: 115x57 OR 114x58 pixels
+- Storage Format: Parquet (Hugging Face)
+
+Language Statistics: 
+- Marathi is the third most spoken language in India
+- Approximately 83 million speakers (7% of India's population)
+- Official language of Maharashtra
+- One of the 22 scheduled languages of India
+
+Applications
+1. OCR Development
+  - Handwriting recognition systems
+  - Document digitization
+  - Text extraction tools
+
+2. Educational Tools
+  - Language learning applications
+  - Writing practice systems
+  - Digital literacy programs
+
+3. Research Applications
+  - Script analysis
+  - Language processing
+  - Pattern recognition studies
+
+
+### Data Fields
+
+- `image`: Image feature (PIL Image)
+- `id`: Feature field
+- `filename`: Feature field
+- `label`: Feature field
+- `type`: Feature field
+
+### Dataset Creation
+
+The dataset was created through careful curation of handwritten samples from native Marathi speakers. 
+The dataset includes both character-level (syllables) and word-level annotations. 
+Contributors were provided with pre-written text designed to capture:
+- Common character variations
+- Diverse writing styles
+- Standard word formations
+- Typical punctuation usage
+
+The images were carefully processed and stored in PNG format, while metadata and labels were structured
+in a Parquet file format.
+
+
+### Usage Example
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+# Load the dataset
+dataset = load_dataset("processvenue/Marathi_Handwritten")
+
+# Get an example from train split
+example = dataset['train'][0]
+
+# Display the image
+plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5))
+plt.imshow(example['image'])
+plt.title(f"Sample Image")
+plt.axis('off')
+plt.show()
+```
