Patta Chitras of Odisha

Patta means a well prepared surface ready for painting. Chitra means painting. Therefore Patta Chitras of Odisha mean Odishan pictorial art on a specially prepared surface. This is traditional cloth(may be tasar or canvas)based scroll painting of Raghurajpur ( a heritage craft village, near Puri, Odisha, India) artisans .Now a days , these patta paintings are being done in different parts of Odisha. Here I have given the images of the different Beshas ( or attires) of our Mahaprabhu Jagannath. You can go through the given article for details about our patta paintings. Here I have given certain photos of pattachitras done on utility items like wooden boxes. #Pattachitras #pattapaintings #Odisha #Raghurajpur #heritagecraftsvillages https://lunarsecstacy.com/2024/03/17/unique-awesome-patta-chitras-our-painted-culture/
