Patachitra: Flute of Love

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.
Standing in tribhanga, Krishna shares his flute with Radha. A popular theme in Patachitra art, the bond between Radha and Krishna has been shown in thousands of different forms. Here is one such interpretation of the love between Radha and Krishna. They share a flute to play the melodies of love, of bliss, of ananda. This beautiful work is a perfect for your home or to someone you love.
