Pattachitra painting typically features Hindu deities and tales. One of the most well-known and traditional forms of art in Odisha is the pattachitra style of painting. Sanskrit terms patta, which means canvas, and chitra, which means picture, were combined to form the name Pattachitra. Pattachitra is a canvas painting that expresses simple topics, mostly mythological in nature, with richly applied colour, imaginative motifs, and designs. Pattachitra painting customs date back over a thousand years.
