Patta Chitra Art

Iam continuing my earlier post on nightbazaar in Hyderabad.Though i have come back to the hustle-bustle of Mumbai life,am kind of still captivated by the beauty of all the handicrafts.

Patta Chitra is an age old tradition of making miniature paintings with religious themes originated in Orissa.It is made by hand on specially treated cloth known as patta.
Now a days artists also exhibit this beautiful art form on palm leaves,the themes depicting their village culture.
