Pattachitra painting is a traditional art form that originated in the state of Odisha, India. The word "Pattachitra" is derived from two Sanskrit words, "Patta" meaning canvas or cloth, and "Chitra" meaning painting or picture.
The art form involves the use of a cloth canvas made from cotton or silk, on which the artists create intricate paintings using natural colors derived from various sources such as plants, minerals, and rocks. These Patachitra paintings usually depict mythological stories, religious themes, and cultural traditions of Odias.
