Introduction

Pattachitra is a traditional Indian cloth painting from Odisha, dating back over 1,000 years. Originating near the Jagannath Temple in Puri, it began as a ritualistic practice. The name combines "Patta" (cloth) and "Chitra" (painting).

Pattachitra depicts Hindu mythology, including epics and deities like Lord Jagannath and Krishna. It evolved into a storytelling medium, blending religious devotion with artistic expression.
