Story Behind Motif

Nandan is a Hindi word which in English means “Pleasing” or “One who is full of life.” Perfectly fitting to its meaning, the motif name Nandan captures the bubbly nature and playfulness of elephants.

In Pattachitra and several other Indian folk art forms, artists have frequently portrayed elephants as a symbol of royalty, strength and intelligence.

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.
