Chehak - Square Wood Platter / Trinket Tray
Chehak - Square Wood Platter / Trinket Tray
Chehak is one of the Hindi words used for the chirping of birds and goodness. Just like in the wooden platter, when you spot a flock of birds, they take you in the sweet melody of the chirping or Chehak.
From Garuda, a mystical bird of Indian mythology to being a symbol of freedom and fortune, birds are used in several ways in Pattachitra paintings.

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.
