Story Behind Motif

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.

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.
