It is a famous painting style of Odisha and it is derived from the Sanskrit words Patta (or canvas) and Chitra (or picture). Preparations for the painting itself requires concentrated craftsmanship. For making the Patta, layers of cloth are stuck together with glue made of tamarind seeds, and then the thick cloth is coated with the powder of a claystone till it is firmed. When the cloth dries, it is polished with stones until the surface is smooth enough to be painted on. Preparing the colours is finely regulated, and naturally available raw materials used to make the paints. The gum of the kaitha tree is the base for the pigments. Roots of the keya plant are often used for normal brushes. Pattachitra is a highly disciplined art form with exquisite figures, elaborate designs, and finally-blended colours. The famous themes, mainly mythological, are thia badhia – depiction of the temple of Lord Jagannath, Krishna Leela, Dasavatara and Panchmuki – Lord Ganesha as the five-headed deity.
