The spectacular Pata painting depicts the immortal love story between Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha in a beautiful manner. A deep amorous feeling is manifest between the duo and Radha’s legs are folded around the figure of the Lord. No doubt the dazzling Pata painting on patti paper (a combination of cloth and paper) gives a fine portrayal of the immortal love between Radha and Krishna with some beautiful designs around the painting. Patachitra paintings are popular in Orissa and the traditions have been coming down from generations to generations with slight modifications.
