Description

This exquisite Pattachitra from Orissa presents a harmonious confluence of Hindu iconography, depicting Lord Ganapati seated upon a lotus, a symbol of purity and divine birth. Revered as the remover of obstacles and the deity of new beginnings, Ganesha is flanked by the Dashavatara, the ten principal incarnations of Lord Vishnu. This comprehensive narrative visually chronicles Vishnu's descents to earth to restore dharma, from Matsya, the fish, to Kalki, the future avatar, each rendered with meticulous detail and vibrant symbolic colouration characteristic of the Odishan school.

Crafted by the skilled hand of Rabi Behera from Puri, this painting exemplifies the traditional Paata Chitras of Orissa. The artist employs time-honoured methods, meticulously preparing the cloth canvas, known as paata, with a coating of chalk and gum before applying natural colours derived from minerals, vegetables, and shells. The distinctive linear quality, sharp outlines, and intricate ornamentation reflect the exacting discipline and devotional spirit inherent in this ancient craft, passed down through generations of Chitrakars.

This compelling work is a one of a kind original painting, not a print, ensuring its unique provenance and artistic integrity. It ships with a signed Certificate of Authenticity from our gallery, affirming its handmade nature and origin. We provide free insured delivery across India, guaranteeing its safe arrival.
