About the Artwork +

Manoranjan Chitrakar portrays the mystical realm of Lord Krishna and Radha, where the colours, details, and symbolism evoke a sense of divine enchantment. At the very heart of the composition stands Lord Krishna, adorned in his celestial blue complexion. With his divine flute in hand, he embodies the universal musician, the master of melody and love. The deep blue of his skin resonates with a sense of otherworldly charm, and his countenance is a portrait of tranquilly and grace. Beside Lord Krishna stands Radha, the epitome of devotion and ardor. She is adorned in a resplendent brown saree, and her blue blouse is a tribute to the unity of colours symbolising her love for Krishna. Her long, flowing hair frames her face in an aura of ethereal beauty. Radiant white ornaments, including chains, a nose ring, and bangles, adorn her form, highlighting her purity and her role as Lord Krishna's divine consort. A crown with a pink veil gracefully drapes behind her, symbolising her regal presence. The lush background, painted in rich shades of green, provides a vibrant setting for this divine union. It captures the essence of nature and its role in providing a splendid backdrop for the eternal love story of Lord Krishna and Radha. This Pattachitra painting is a visual feast that celebrates the eternal love story of Lord Krishna and Radha, the devotion that binds them, and the natural world that envelops their divine tale.

Manoranjan Chitrakar blue-tick

Manoranjan
"In West Bengal, the word chitrakar refers to pattachitra painters. We have taken Chitrakar as our last name for hundreds of years" says Manoranjan aka Manu Chitrakar, who has been painting for 30 years since the age of 15. He enjoys depicting societal themes in his works. Manuji has travelled across India, as well as to Sweden and Paris. The Bengal Pattachitra is a visual and oral art tradition practised by West Bengal's Patuas or Chitrakars. Patua painters, who are Muslim by faith, represent a distinct and secular art history. They make a living by painting and singing stories from Hindu mythology, local folklore, Sufi tradition, and modern issues. Though the origins of the Patua tradition have been difficult for art historians to trace, some suggest the oral form dates back to the 10th or 11th century CE. The physical evidence of a scroll, on the other hand, does not occur until the 18th century CE.
