The word Patachitra is derived from the Sanskrit word “pata”, which means a painted piece of cloth, a picture, a tablet, a bottle or a plate; “chitra” means painting or picture. The tradition of making Patachitra paintings goes back to the 8th century AD. Patachitra today is a shining example of an age old tradition helping keep an old art form alive.
Patachitra is a style of paintings practiced among the tribal and indigenous people of Odisha. The artists, making these paintings usually do not have other sources of livelihood.
