Product description

This vibrant patachitra depicts the “”Kandarpa Hathi’ – the gopis making a vehicle of love (the elephant) and inviting their Lord Krishna to ride on it. The kandarpa theme is the ‘love theme’ of patachitras depicting various poses from the Krishna Raas Leela.

This theme involves the Gopis whose bodies are arranged in such a manner as to create the impression of a supportive elephant transporting their Lord while Krishna rides joyfully on this elephant holding his flute. It conveys a sense that gopis are bound together in love for their beloved Lord.

One of Odisha’s oldest and most popular art forms is Pattachitra. Patta and chitra mean canvas and picture, respectively, in Sanskrit. Pattachitra is thus a painting done on canvas, and is manifested by rich colourful application, creative motifs and designs, and portrayal of simple themes, mostly mythological in depiction.

Care Instructions: Avoid direct sunlight, moisture, water, and other liquids. Keep in a frame with glass for best results.
