Story Behind Motif

Neer, one of the Hindi words used for water. While the fishes are a symbol of fertility and luck, the unbreakable bond between fishes and water represents stability and balance.

In Hinduism, fishes are linked with God Vishnu, protector of the universe. However, fishes in Pattachitra paintings are plucked from a beautiful fish wedding story that Patuas sing about.

Pattachitra

Indigenous to the eastern Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha, the folk art form of Pattachitra is a reflection of India’s glorious past.

The artists - who are called Patuas - have immortalised religious, mythical, and folklore instances in scrolls of fabric.

They use bright bold natural colours and a distinctive art style that is rooted in rural tradition. In a traditional performance, the Patuas unfurl the scroll as they sing their Pater Gaan and mesmerise the audience as they transport them to a land of myth and legends.

Saharanpur Woodwork

The fine woodwork and workmanship of Saharanpur, India, are well-known all over the world.

There is a long tradition of the city manufacturing exquisitely carved wooden furniture and home decor. Local artisans are skilled in techniques like inlay work, lattice designs, and carving, often using Sheesham (Indian Rosewood) and other quality woods.

The intricate designs, superior craftsmanship, and rich cultural past of Saharanpur's woodwork set it apart from other regional crafts.
