Pattachitra is an ancient Indian art form from Odisha, known for its bold lines, natural colors, and historical themes. These scroll or cloth paintings often depict Hindu deities like Jagannatha, Ganesha, and Radha-Krishna, and are used in rituals, festivals, and storytelling. Over time, Pattachitra has expanded into apparel, palm leaf etchings, and contemporary home decor. It remains a living folk tradition, celebrated for its beauty, spiritual symbolism, and regional heritage.
