Patachitra: Leisurely Rowing

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.
The painting depicts a couple in an ornate boat, rowing leisurely. The shades of love, affection and companionship are the hallmark of this art work. The couple is shown with jewellery, which is also a symbol of opulence and grandeur. This is a perfect piece to bring home to adorn your walls and bring in the opulence and grandeur the art work symbolizes.
