Bhagawan Jagannath (Lord Krishna with Subhadra and Balabhadra) Pattachitra Painting on Canvas

This Pattachitra presents the revered triad of Bhagawan Jagannath, his elder brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra, central deities of the Puri temple and embodiments of Lord Krishna in Odisha. Their unique, stylized forms, deeply rooted in ancient devotional practices, are rendered with characteristic Pattachitra vigour. The piece captures the spiritual essence of these beloved deities, with their iconic wide eyes and simplified limbs, depicted with the distinct visual language that has evolved over centuries around the Jagannath cult.

Hand-painted by a master folk artist, this Pattachitra exemplifies the traditional cloth-based scroll painting of Odisha, an art form historically linked to Puri and the renowned artist village of Raghurajpur. The handmade canvas, or patta, is meticulously prepared with a gesso of tamarind glue and chalk, providing a smooth, durable surface. Natural mineral and vegetable colours lend their earthy brilliance to the composition, applied with intricate brushwork and finished with the bold outlines and ornate floral motifs that define this ancient aesthetic.

This exquisite Pattachitra is a one-of-a-kind original work, not a print, reflecting the unique vision and skill of its creator. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its provenance and handmade nature. We are pleased to offer complimentary insured delivery across India for this treasured acquisition.
