Handpainted Pattachitra Silk Painting - Neelambari (Unframed with mount 20.5" X 9")

Handpainted Pattachitra Silk Painting - Neelambari (Unframed with mount 20.5" X 9"). A serene Lakshmi in a cool palette encapsulated in Pattachitra aesthetics seated upon a lotus rising from water. The balanced mudras and symmetrical framing reflect sacred geometry and its contemplative calm. 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.
