Patachitra: Anurag

The Aravali team proudly brings you traditional, hand-painted Bengal Patachitra. This art form is GI-certified by the Government of India. The Bengal Patachitra tells stories about mythology, religion, folklore, or social issues. Bengal Patachitra's artist is called Patua or Chitrakar. Traditionally, Chitrakars travelled from village to village telling their tales and unwrapping scrolls scene by scene, combining storytelling, painting, and singing. Aravali has partnered with the best Patachitra artists in India to bring authentic Patachitra to our patrons. This painting was created by a Rabindra Bharati awardee and state award winner. Each of these paintings take many hours of hard work and patience to complete. More complex themes might need weeks to finish.
Anurag has many meanings. It can be love, it can be affection and it can also be devotion. Every meaning leads to a different interpretation of the art work and that is a wonderful thing. The patrons are free to interpret the art work the way they want to. The artist has given that freedom of interpretation, yet has control over what he presents.
