Pattachitra is an ancient art form that originated in Odisha, with its roots tied to religious practices and temple culture, particularly the Jagannath Temple in Puri. The tradition dates back to the 5th century BCE and was initially used to create visual narratives of Hindu mythology for devotees. These paintings, done on cloth, palm leaves, or walls, are characterized by their intricate detailing, vibrant natural colors, and storytelling themes centered around epics like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and the lives of Lord Krishna and Lord Jagannath.
The process of creating Pattachitra is meticulous, involving the preparation of canvas with tamarind paste and chalk and the use of organic dyes extracted from natural sources like turmeric, conch shells, and flowers. The heritage village of Raghurajpur is synonymous with this craft, where artisans have preserved the age-old techniques while innovating with modern adaptations, such as sarees, decorative panels, and souvenirs. Despite challenges from industrialization, Pattachitra remains a testament to Odisha’s cultural legacy and continues to gain global recognition for its timeless beauty and intricate artistry."
