Description
In this beautiful Pata painting, tussar silk is being used nicely to give a symmetrical impression. Here tree is being likened with a life. Pattachitra has evolved from the Sanskrit words patta, meaning canvas, and chitra, meaning picture. So patachitra is a painting on canvas and is manifested by rich colourful application, creative motifs and designs, and portrayal of simple themes, mostly mythological in character. The hub of this genre of artwork is in and around Puri, especially in the village of Raghurajpur. The tradition of pattachitra painting may be traced back to the time of construction of Lord Jagannath Temple. Chitrakaras are also called to execute colourful paintings on the three chariots for the annual Rath Yatra (Chariot festival). Raghurajpur is the hub for this unique art. Some other centres where this art form has flourished include Parlakhemundi, Champamal (Sonepur), Athgarh and Dinabandhupur (Dhenkanal). In local language the patta painters are known as chitrakars and the lane in which these painters or chitrakaras live is called Chitrakar Sahi.
