Patta Chitra is an umbrella term for traditional cloth-based
scroll painting. It is one of the ancient artworks of Orissa and
West Bengal. In the Sanskrit language, “Patta” literally means
“cloth” and “Chitra” means “image”. Patta Chitra has
mythological narratives, which are explained using intricate
details.
Patta Chitra

This art form is defined by its rich use of color, creative
designs, motifs, and a combination of classical and folk
elements. Painters use natural colors that are vegetable and
mineral colors. The brushes used by these "Chitrakaras" are also indigenous
and are made from the hair of domestic animals. A bunch of
hair tied to the end of a bamboo stick makes the brush. This
beautiful art is now dying, although the government of
Orissa has tried to take steps to conserve this art form.
