Pattachitra is a traditional Odia painting style on cloth (pata) with roots in ancient murals and the Jagannath Temple. The paintings are created on treated cloth or palm leaves using natural, vegetable, and mineral colors, and are known for their detailed and vibrant depictions of mythological, religious, and folklore themes.
Rooted in Odisha’s heritage, Pattachitra art is renowned for its sacred themes depicting deities and epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Traditionally painted on cloth treated with tamarind paste or on rich Tussar silk, each creation is brought to life with natural pigments derived from plants, flowers, and minerals. Fine black outlines, vibrant hues, and a protective lacquer coating give the paintings their signature elegance. Once used in temples as a divine substitute for idols, Pattachitra today thrives as a living art, celebrated in textiles, décor, and timeless collectibles.
