‘Practice makes the best from the rest’ – is today
proved by artisans of Patachitra.
Arts and
paintings are the mirrors of India. One of the most alluring painting works on
textiles is Patachitra.
Patachitra is a
vibrant, unique, fine and captivating artwork to display the finesse and
dexterous of Indian craftsmanship at its best.
Patachitra or
Pattachitra, an ancient art form where the Sanskrit words ‘Patta’ and ‘chitra’
refers to ‘cloth’ and ‘picture’, is basically a cloth-based scroll painting or
a picture painting on cloth. It is one of the fascinating creations of Indians
that depicts Hindu mythological tales and wonders.
It is an old
generation indigenous art, but simply tantalizing the perfectionists.
Basically,
Patachitra artwork has a traditional appeal and is inborn with cultural Indian
values, customs and rituals, which are the parts of Hindu faith. It is also an
immense facet of Indian accessories and other forms of ethnic fashions as well.
This wondrous
form of art work was conceptualized by Orissa or Odessa people and dates back
to 500BC. According to the historical evidences, village ‘Puri’ is the birth
place for Patachitra, which is still popular for this art work. The artisans
‘Mohapatras’ or ‘Maharanas’ are the first craftsman of Patachitra. The richest
history of Orissa lent its inspiration to its creative weavers through
paintings and detailed skilful works.
The basic form
of Patachitra was revolved around the beliefs and ideologies of two cults
Jagannath’s and Vaishnava’s. However, West Bengal and Bengal are also the major
states that are widely practising Patachitra, apart from Orissa.
The Orissa
craftsman offered sufficient scope for this painstakingly and meticulously
executed, unique ethnic offering that ‘wowed’ even the contemporary audience
today. Rich in colour, along with extraordinary designs and motifs, the
Patachitra on sari showcases the tradition and cultures of India.
The style of
Patachitra is a unique blend of classical and folk elements along with Mughal
influences in it when it comes to the appeal of characters and fashion sense.
It also displays epics and religious themes in a detailed narration on any
broad canvas.
The features of
each character are described in detail with clear dark lines which gives a
definite shape and appeal to the figure. The background of each narrative is
simple and not too detailed as the main characters and actions need to be
focused. The major element observed in each Patachitra art is ‘border’. It is
used to showcase uniformity to the entire painting.
Natural and
vegetable dyes are used by craftsman rather than chemicals, as to display the
art natural. Traditional colours such as red, green, yellow, blue, white and
orange are used to define each and every section of painting. Apart from paint
and motifs, no additional embellishments are used in making Patachitra.
Patachitra sari
adorned by mythological stories and tribal folk arts looks unique in any grand
occasion. Some organic shining and hand painted Patachitra saris ‘wows’ the
viewers with their awesomeness.
