Odisha Pattachitra on Silk: Raja Parba

Aravali is proud to bring you this exclusive made-to-order collection from the national award-winning master. This masterpiece depicts Raja Parba, which is a three-day-long festival of womanhood celebrated in Odisha. It is believed that the mother goddess Earth, or the divine wife of Lord Vishnu, undergoes menstruation during these three days. Women wear the best dresses and accessories during these days, as depicted in this painting, as they spend long days of merry festivities, swinging on improvised swings and singing impromptu songs.Fine detail in the painting and stunning borders are hallmarks of the master Pattachitra artist.
Odisha Pattachitra is GI-certified by the Government of India. However, there is a rise in imitation Pattachitra, which is not only of inferior quality but also adversely affects the artists who practise the art form sincerely. To bring the best Pattachitra to our patrons, Aravali has partnered with the best Pattachitra artists in India. Our Aravali team is working with Bijay Kumar Parida, Shilp Guru (2018), and a National Award-winning artist from Odisha with decades of experience in perfecting Pattachitra art.
