Traditionally, Patua paintings originated as scrolls used as a story telling medium. These paintings are made on handmade paper, with a cloth backing. Normally, a Patua scrolls can range from 8 to 15 feet in length with vivid imagery of the story, mainly mythological or historical. Indigenous plants and minerals are still used to create the paint, including turmeric, vermillion, and burnt rice. Sap of the bel (wood-apple) fruit is used as mordant.
