Explore Odisha’s folk art, Pattachitra!
About This Course
With Rooftop’s online Pattachitra Course, you can take a leap into the world of Pattachitra, a traditional Indian art form that brings mythology to life. Originating in the culturally rich regions of Odisha and West Bengal, Pattachitra literally means “cloth painting.” These artworks are known for their intricate detailing, bold lines, and vibrant colours, often illustrating epic tales from Hindu mythology, especially stories of Lord Jagannath and the Vaishnava tradition.
In this course, you’ll learn how Pattachitra art turns a simple piece of fabric into a canvas of stories, using natural colours and traditional techniques and guides you through every step of the Pattachitra process. Led by Bijay Kumar Parida, a master artist with 52 years of experience, this workshop is perfect for anyone curious about heritage art, storytelling, and hands-on creativity. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a deep understanding of Pattachitra Art and a whole lot of artistic inspiration. Whether it’s your first time holding a brush or you’re looking to dive deeper into Indian folk art, this experience is as enriching as it is enjoyable.
