Pattachitra, a cherished art form hailing from West Bengal, embodies the rich tradition of storytelling in India. Created by skilled artisans known as Patuas or Chitrakars, these intricate scrolls depict captivating narratives through vivid paintings. The term 'Pata' originates from Sanskrit, referring to cloth, while 'Chitra' signifies painting. These scrolls serve as visual aids to accompany oral renditions of tales, known as Pater Gaan, where stories unfold as the scrolls are unfurled. Using natural mineral and vegetable colors sourced locally, Pattachitra exudes bold hues and intricate details. From mythological epics to contemporary themes, these artworks reflect the essence of Indian culture and heritage.
