Bhagawan Vishnu with Krishna Lila Pattachitra Painting on Canvas

This vibrant Pattachitra painting beautifully captures the divine essence of Bhagawan Vishnu, the supreme preserver deity in the Hindu pantheon, whose role it is to maintain cosmic order and dharma. Interwoven with this central theme are scenes from Krishna Lila, the enchanting divine pastimes of Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu, celebrated for their devotional depth and joyous narratives. In this traditional Odishan scroll, Vishnu is rendered with iconic attributes, while the Krishna Lila episodes unfold with vivid storytelling and characteristic Pattachitra stylisation, a hallmark of this revered cloth-based art form.

Crafted by artist KARM 108, this exquisite work is executed in watercolor on handmade canvas, embodying the meticulous process of Pattachitra. Originating from Odisha, particularly centred around Puri and the artist village of Raghurajpur, this ancient tradition begins with preparing the "patta" or cloth by coating it with a paste of tamarind gum and chalk. Natural mineral and vegetable colours are then applied, defined by strong outlines and further embellished with ornate floral borders, a visual language deeply rooted in centuries of devotional artistry.

As a one of a kind original, this Pattachitra painting is not a print, offering a unique opportunity to own a tangible piece of India's living artistic heritage. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and originality, and includes complimentary insured delivery across India for your peace of mind.
