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 Odisha.
