Pattachitra and pat-er gaan are the two aspects of a unique cultural tradition of Bengal that draws inspiration from the mythological tales of India. Patua, a community of itinerant scroll painters and singers from the district Paschim Medinipur, paint stories in picture frames on long scrolls of cloth. They sing the story while unfurling the scroll. Patua artists use natural vegetable colours made from vegetables, fruits and flowers to make this painting known as Pattachitra.
The origin of the Pattachitra paintings can be traced back to the 8th century AD, considered to be one of the earliest forms of indigenous paintings. Pattachitra is among the most distinct forms of traditional painting in Orissa and West Bengal, and this piece sees a contemporary rendering of this beautiful art form.
Patachitra or Pattachitra is a general term for traditional, cloth-based scroll painting, based in the eastern Indian states of Odisha and West Bengal. Patachitra artform is known for its intricate details as well as mythological narratives and folktales inscribed in it.
