Orissa Pattachitra has been a living art since ancient times. The Sanskrit words “Patta,” which means painted cloth, and “Chitra,” which means picture, are the source of the term. These vivid art pieces were made in Puri as gifts for pilgrims who visited the Jagannath shrine.  Orissa Pattachitra is a beautifully handmade art form that showcases detailed mythological scenes and famous tales with bright, mineral-based colors. This art is more than just a decoration; it directly connects with India’s culture. When displayed in your home, it brings you into a world of ancient stories from Krishna’s life, the avatars of Vishnu, and epic tales from the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
