Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pattachitra art? +
Pattachitra is a centuries-old folk painting tradition from Odisha, India. The name comes from Sanskrit — patta (cloth) and chitra (picture). Artisans from the Chitrakar community handpaint intricate mythological scenes using natural pigments on cloth, Tussar silk, or palm leaves. It is a GI-tagged craft, recognised by the Government of India.
Where can I buy authentic Pattachitra paintings online? +

Every piece is handpainted, signed, and ships with a certificate of authenticity. Browse our full collection at culturati.in/collections/pattachitra-art.
What themes are depicted in Pattachitra paintings? +
The most popular themes include Lord Jagannath and his siblings Balabhadra and Subhadra, the Dashavatar (ten avatars of Vishnu), Krishna's Raasa Leela, Lord Ganesha, and the symbolic Tree of Life. Borders of stylised flowers and creepers are a hallmark of the style.
What materials are used in Pattachitra paintings? +
Traditional Pattachitra is painted on a specially prepared cloth canvas coated with chalk and tamarind seed gum paste. Colours are derived from natural stone pigments, lamp black, and plant extracts. Culturati's collection also includes paintings on Tussar silk and palm leaf (tala patra), each with its own distinct texture and character.
How should I care for and display a Pattachitra painting? +
Keep your Pattachitra away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve the natural pigments. For cloth and silk pieces, frame behind UV-protective glass. Palm leaf paintings can be displayed in a shadow box frame. Avoid folding or rolling the artwork. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth.
