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.

Terracotta

Terracotta, one of India's oldest art forms, has been shaping the cultural landscape for centuries. This earthenware, fired to a rich, warm hue, is known for its versatility and beauty.

From the delicate figurines to elegant home decor pieces, terracotta work carry a rustic charm that connects us to ancient traditions.

Going beyond being just an artifact; it's a piece of history molded by skilled artisans, reflecting the diverse heritage of India.
