Story Behind Motif

The word Udaan means ‘flight’ in several different Indian languages. The bird motif is a very popular classical motif in Indian folk art as Indian culture has always been nature-centric, and the art form reflects that.

Birds can represent a lot of things like freedom and free will, but a pair of birds usually represent optimism, fertility, and rebirth.

Handle with care

Before storing your trinkets and sharing gifts and snacks with your loved ones using Bamboo Boxes, remember:

  • To clean and dust, always use a soft bristle brush, soft cotton cloth or slightly damp cloth
  • Avoid soaking them in water or leaving them in a damp area
  • Always air dry the boxes and never leave them under direct sunlight

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.
