India had always been known as the land that portrayed cultural and traditional vibrancy through its conventional arts and crafts.Every region in India has its own style and pattern of art, which is known as folk art. Pattachitra style of painting is one of the oldest art forms of India. When history becomes old it sometimes becomes hard to find their root, pattachitra arts is an example. But going by the history and references it’s considered to be more than thousands of years old. 

The name Pattachitra has evolved from the Sanskrit words patta, meaning canvas, and chitra, meaning picture. Pattachitra is thus a painting done on canvas, and is manifested by rich colourful application, creative motifs and designs, and portrayal of simple themes, mostly mythological in depiction.


How this is Made ?

  • Making the patta is the first thing that comes in the agenda, and the painters, go about their work in preparing a tamarind paste, which is made by soaking tamarind seeds in water for three days. 
  • The seeds are later pounded with a crusher, mixed with water, and heated in an earthen pot to turn it to a paste, which is called niryas kalpa
  • The paste is then used to hold two pieces of cloth together with it, and coated with a powder of soft clay stone a couple of times till it becomes firm. 
  • Soon as the cloth becomes dry, the final touch of polishing it with a rough stone and then a smooth stone or wood is given, until the surface becomes smooth and leathery, and is all ready as a canvas to be painted on.
