Shri Jagannath Ji with Subhadra and Balabhadra Palm Leaf Patra Chitra Pattachitra Painting on Palm Leaf by Rabi Behera

This exquisite traditional Indian painting reverently portrays the sacred triad of Shri Jagannath Ji, his elder brother Balabhadra, and sister Subhadra. Central to the spiritual landscape of Odisha, these deities are iconic manifestations of Krishna, Balarama, and their sister, worshipped with profound devotion at the Puri temple. The artist renders their distinct aniconic forms with characteristic simplicity and bold outlines, capturing the spiritual essence and the visual vocabulary unique to this regional tradition.

Created by Rabi Behera, a skilled artisan from Puri, Odisha, this artwork exemplifies the time-honoured technique of Pattachitra on paata. The medium involves meticulously prepared cloth, treated with a mix of chalk and gum to create a smooth, durable surface. Utilizing natural pigments and fine brushes, Behera applies vibrant colours within precise black outlines, showcasing the intricate detail and narrative clarity that define this folk art form, a testament to generations of artistic inheritance.

As a truly one of a kind original painting, this piece stands as a unique testament to traditional Indian artistry, distinctly not a print. It will be accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its provenance and value. We are pleased to offer free insured delivery across India for this precious acquisition.
