Explanation:

A traditional painting of Odisha, the name Pattachitra comes from a Sanskrit word Patta which means Canvas/Cloth and Chitra means picture. The paintings show a mix of classic and folk elements, with a bias towards the latter. The base of the painting is treated cloth while the colours used come from natural sources including burnt coconut shells. No pencil or charcoal is used, rather brush is used to draw the outlines in red or yellow after which the colours are filled. They are inspired from Jagannath and Vaishnava cult.
