Description

This exquisite Pattachitra painting from Orissa exquisitely renders the beloved divine couple, Lord Krishna and Radha. Krishna, the enchanting cowherd deity, plays his sacred flute, the Murali, symbolising the divine call that draws all creation to him. Beside him stands Radha, his eternal consort, embodying the pinnacle of devotional love and the individual soul's yearning for the divine. Their union, celebrated through vibrant colours and precise lines characteristic of the Pattachitra tradition, represents the profound spiritual bond of Bhakti.

Crafted by the esteemed artist Rabi Behera from Puri, a renowned hub for this art form, this work exemplifies the intricate artistry of Pattachitra. The medium is "paata," a meticulously prepared cloth canvas, traditionally treated with a mix of chalk and tamarind paste to create a smooth, durable surface. Behera's skilled hand is evident in the crisp outlines, delicate brushwork, and rich, natural pigments that define the figures and their surroundings, showcasing the deep-rooted visual language passed down through generations of Pattachitra painters.

As a unique, handmade original, this painting stands apart from any print, bearing the singular touch of its creator. It will be accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its provenance and artistic integrity. We ensure its safe passage to your collection with complimentary insured delivery provided across India.
