Pattachitra painting is one of the oldest and most cherished art forms of Odisha, known for its storytelling through detailed imagery and striking colors. Traditionally painted on cloth using handmade natural dyes, these artworks often depict gods, goddesses, and tales from Hindu mythology, especially those linked to the Jagannath temple in Puri. The style is marked by fine lines, ornamental borders, and a strong sense of symmetry. More than just paintings, Pattachitra reflects the deep spiritual and cultural heritage of Odisha, carefully preserved and passed down by generations of skilled artisans.
