Story Behind Motif

Dhara is a Sanskrit word that means stream flow or waterfall in English. As the fish flow along the open water flow, it gives motion to your life as well.

Fishes are one of the motifs commonly used in Pattachitra, narrating the popular Fish Wedding story. Fishes are auspicious. And, in present times too, you will still find them painted on houses during festivals.

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.
