Pattachitra from West Bengal is a hand-painted folk art tradition where Patua artists narrate epics and everyday life through bold lines and luminous colour. Painted on pata, a cloth base primed with natural chalk and plant gums each work is detailed with fine brushes. Themes span Krishna Leela, Durga, village rituals, riverscapes and flora–fauna, often composed as flowing story panels that recall the Patua’s sung scrolls (pater gaan).
Each painting is framed with irregularities that reflect the artisanal, handmade nature of the product. These imperfections add to the charm and authenticity, making it a museum grade, frame ready artwork that suits contemporary interiors as naturally as heritage spaces perfect for homes and collectors.
