Description
Originating in the 11th century, Patachitra is an ancient artform of Bengal which is practiced to this day by a tribe of painters called ‘Patuas’. Traditionally they draw mythological figures, Hindu Gods and Goddesses on hand-made paper pasted on a piece of cloth using natural colours derived from herbs, flowers or other materials like soil & indigo.
The Chowkas Pot Mahishasur Mardini painting represents the Goddess Durga in battle when she kills the feared demon king, Mahishasur. A true collector’s item, this original Pata, is hand painted by a master craftswoman of West Bengal.
