A rare blending of colours and line formations has made the Patachitra painting from Orissa a treat for the eyes. Beautiful pictorial conceptions, idiosyncratic conventions, extra-ordinary system of line formations and vibrant colours make the Patachitra painting unique one. Originating out of the religious cult of Lord Jagannath in Puri, Orissa (India), Patachitra has gone on to win the hearts of millions across the world. The goddess Durga, the demon Mahishasur, the ox all is painted with variegated colours. A sense of satisfaction and gracefulness is evident in her face.
