Pattachitra, which has originated from the eastern states of Odisha and West Bengal, is known for its intricate details, vibrant colors, and mythological themes. Pattachitra is a Sanskrit word where "Patta" means cloth and "Chitra" means painting. Their paintings also depict stories from the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, and tales of Lord Jagannath, Krishna Leela, and Goddess Lakshmi. Today, Pattachitra painting is witnessing a resurgence, with contemporary artists drawing on this traditional style to create new and exciting pieces. Due to the emergence of digital platforms, Pattachitra painting is now more accessible all over the world and can be found with a single search. The Traditional Art of Pattachitra Painting Pattachitra art originated from the ancient temple traditions of Odisha. It was developed mainly by families of Chitrakar (painter), inherited across generations. The most popular Pattachitra is a Jagannath Pattachitra, that presents Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra. During religious ceremonies, these paintings are used to decorate the Jagannath Temple in Puri. West Bengal also has its own variant — Patachitra painting which uses painted scrolls to tell the stories. The Patuas, as they were called, would roam from village to village, singing and telling stories as they...

  • I have always cherished the memory of the swing from my childhood. After moving to Australia, I often found myself dreaming about that swing – the one that reminded me so much of home. We searched for a long time, hoping to find something that would bring that same feeling of home to our new life in Australia.
