About Pattachitra Painting of Odisha

Pattachitra painting of odisha has a whole arc dedicated to the folklore of Jagannath Dev and other gods and goddesses. The relics of these divine folklores are richly depicted on tassar and tal patra parchments. The divine scenes you witness have been passed down through the ages.  

Our skilled artisans start the painting by soaking tassar and patras in tamarind paste. Then, they source original colours from tree gums, conch shells, stones, and pigmented vegetables. The rest is magic. Visit our gallery to witness the final product.

Significance of Odisha Pattachitra Art

Odisha Pattachitra carries deep religious and cultural significance, serving as picture books that share stories of Hindu gods during festivals and temple events. Priests and worshippers bring these paintings into Jagannath rituals to teach lessons and stir up faith among the crowd.​

Chitrakar families hand down their skills by word of mouth, keeping Odisha’s old folk tales and ways from disappearing over time. Art lovers around the world chase these pieces for the fine lines and holy feel, paying top dollar at sales and shows.​

Craftsmanship & Traditional Techniques

Artisans glue together layers of old cloth using tamarind seed gum mixed with clay to make a tough, even canvas that lasts. For palm leaf scrolls, they dry the leaves in the sun and stitch them neatly side by side.​

This scroll style lays out the story panel by panel, just like pages in very old books. They paint tiny details with brushes from squirrel tails or horse hair, dipping into bright colors from nature that stay vivid for years, no fading at all.​

Nothing machine-made or printed digitally touches these works; everything comes straight from hands in Raghurajpur, sticking to tricks from the 12th century.​
