Vintage painting from Odisha

The Patachitras are believed to be one of the earliest indigenous paintings in the state of Orissa, traditionally painted by temple functionaries who lived in and around the temple town of Puri. In the present day, the largest population of Patachitra painters / chitrakars, mainly belonging to the Maharana and Mahapatra castes, live in the picturesque village of Raghurajpur, on the banks of river Bhargavi. This tradition is inherited in the form of a family sketch book, handed down over generations and cherished as a sacred possession.
