Craftsmanship & Origin
Pattachitra is a classical painting tradition from Odisha with centuries of history. The word “Pattachitra” comes from ‘Patta’ meaning cloth and ‘Chitra’ meaning picture. While originally painted on cloth and palm leaves, artisans now apply this art to various decorative objects such as kettles, trays, lanterns, and bottles.
Artists use fine handmade brushes and natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and organic materials to create intricate designs and vibrant patterns.
