Pattachitra is a classical form of art dating back to the 10th and 11th A.D. Pattachitra is a fusion of two words i.e. Patta stands for canvas and Chitra stands for Picture. The art form originated in Orissa and Bengal. Each year while Debasnana Purnima takes place, the idols of Lord Balabhadra, Lord Jagannath and Devi Subhadra are laved with 108 pots of cold water to fight the summer heat. For a period of 15 days, idols of gods are kept away from public view and in their place Pattachitra art paintings are utilised for temple ceremonies. These Patachitra portraits are called Anasara Patti. As adherents cannot worship the real idols, these Patachitra paintings are made with exceptional intricacy so that they resemble as authentic as the statues. Because Pattachitra grace the walls of temples and are utilised for the objective of worshipping, a painter follows some set of customs and rules while executing the Patta painting. The maestro craftsmanship with which painters make them is phenomenal. Few relevant manuals have mentioned some rules painters had to ensue while producing a composition of Pattachitra painting. Few portraits also represent scenes from Krishna Leela and also represents ten epitomai of Lord Vishnu. Buy the most desirable assortment of Pattachitra paintings online at https://printmyspace.com/.
