Created by Rabi Behera from Puri, this painting is a distinguished example of Paata painting from Orissa.

Behera's skilled hand is evident in the precise, bold outlines that define each element, filled with unshaded, brilliant natural or artist colors. The visible technique showcases the enduring lineage of artists who masterfully employ fine brushes to achieve intricate patterns and textures, imparting a luminous depth to the surface.
