Handpainted Pattachitra Canvas Painting - Fables of Vishnu (Unframed Length - 13" x Width - 19")

Handpainted Pattachitra Canvas Painting - Fables of Vishnu. This exquisite hand-painted Pattachitra unfolds like a sacred mandala, with Lord Vishnu and consort at its radiant center, encircled by lotus-petal medallions narrating celestial tales. The surrounding geometric panels extend the narrative, detailing divine episodes in intricate black-and-white contrasts heightened by subtle hues. The origins of Pattachitra painting trace back to the 8th century CE, making it one of India’s oldest indigenous art forms. Born in Odisha as sacred scrolls, it is deeply tied to the Jagannath Temple, where schematic depictions adorned the deity within the sanctum. Painted with natural pigments from minerals and organics, Pattachitra is known for its bold lines, intricate detail, and devotional themes. More than art, it is a living tradition—cloth transformed into scripture, color into prayer, and heritage into heirloom.
