Pattachitra is an art form in which paintings are done on a piece of Cloth, where “Patta” refers to cloth and “Chitra” to a picture. Pattachitra is painting done on canvas, and is manifested by rich colourful application, creative motifs, and designs, and portrayal of simple themes, mostly mythological in depiction.
