  1. Pattachitra Art in Home Decor Famous folk art of Orissa, Pattachitrais form of scroll painting on canvas, aboriginal to Orissa, and traditionally uses colors derived from organic sources. Because the art is so raw and elemental and uses iconic illustrations such as the totem-like illustration of Sri Jagannath, people often limit its purpose to temples and rarely use it in home décor or for personal use. The form is a tribute to Hindu gods and an offshoot of worships and rituals associated with the history of Sri Jagannath, but it’s an art, too, not only a rite specific to a religion. The simple matter that pattachitra paintings are so vibrant makes them pieces to have in homes, but especially in

  2. Indian homes, as they are so entrenched in the indigenous Indian culture that a patta painting beholds great cultural and chronological leverage over many other types of paintings. The brush strokes speak loudly and proudly, adding thrill and a line of interest to a home decor. Modern Pattachitra paintings have also now been founded and explored, in which contemporary Pattachitra artists use adulterated material and unconventional icons. Consequently, the art now finds itself even in contemporary style homes. Traditionally, folk artist would use colours made from natural ingredients like china clay, soft clay or chalk, conch shell, red stone, yellow-brown ochre, and so on, and paint them using brushes made manually from the keya root and hairs of mouse and buffalo, on silk (for canvas). Black would come from charcoal powder, and white from sea shells plentiful on shores of Orissa. It’s one’s own discretion to choose an art piece as per one’s own taste and home décor, but essentially, there are six types, based on: Sri Jagannath Pati Great Indian epics Orissa folk lore The art of bratas and worship rituals Animals and birds Eroticism The paintings based on Sri Jagannath Pati and great Indian folks are more traditional in nature, adhering to the purpose

  3. of depiction of the deity and the holy “triad”, or mythologies, respectively. Whilst bright, these kinds of art are also solemn. The best suited décor that’ll be able to support this sort of art must be mature, and in style preferably earthen, or eclectic, or indigenously traditional to be in harmony with the painting. On the other hand, the Pattachitra paintings based on animals and birds are lighter in pathos, and their purpose is mainly depiction of nature. These paintings are soothing to eyes and soft in their implication. Such paintings are perfect for cottage style homes, coastal style homes, industrial homes, and country style homes, as they personify leisure and romanticism. Then, there are erotic Pattachitras which are tamasik in nature, exploring the darker side of nature. This art is bold, and finds itself in place in rustic style homes, Tuscan style homes, Moroccan style homes, eclectic style homes, and also indigenous traditional homes.Pattachitra painted dhurries, wall-hangings and quaint masks and figurines can fill your yoga area with a lot of spiritual character and ambience. Besides paintings, Pattachitra is also finding its reaches in many scopes- like statues, artifacts, miscellaneous products such as pots, bookmarks, trinkets, accessories, etc, wall art, and more.They would typically be painted on surfaces as varied as canvas, paper, cloth and wood and even large size murals covering walls and roofs are possible. Such murals are seen in ancient temples of Odisha as part of traditional rituals including the Puri Jagannath temple.
