Saraswaati – Indian God
The Patachitra of Bengal has its unique style of using simple lines creating intricate details. The subjects are drawn mostly from Hindu mythology. The all natural colours are made from elements like leaves, soil, flowers and seeds. The choice and use of colours are also very unique and soothing to the eyes and the soul of the viewers. This painting comes from the brush of Rajesh Chitrakar.

Mirabai
Mirabai is an immortal character who expressed her devotion to Lord Krishna through her music. This painting of Mirabai belongs to the typical Pata Shilpa gharana of Bengal. The simple yet bold strokes are the signature style of these artists who are the children of the soil. With these paintings, they tell the stories of Mirabai through songs, composed by themselves. This piece is created by Bahadur Chitrakar.
Tribal Story
The location of these Patachitra Shilpi or artists falls in a place, popularly known as Jangal Mahal in West Bengal. The area is home to a number of indigenous tribes like Santhals, Vills, Mundas. The paintings, for obvious reasons, depict the tribal culture. One such example by Nazra Chitrakar, who learnt the art from her older generations and is now passing it on to her successors. The painting shows how the tribal youth goes hunting and fishing. Their hunts are always accompanied by Madal (a kind of drum) the beats of which brings the animals and the birds out of their hide outs.
Shiva
Lord Shiva has always been a much sought after figure of Patachitra, as these paintings, when done on the back of clay saucers instead of papers, are used in the place of clay idols of deities and are worshipped in the household of many common Bengali people. This is also quite an old piece of art done by Bahadur Chitrakar.
Kamale Kamini
A depiction of Kamale Kamini, the Hindu deity called Devi Chandi, is here in this painting of Bahadur Chitrakar. The famous Bengali folk lore, Chandi Mangal, written by Kabikankan Mukundaram, tells the tale of Devi Chandi, supposedly another avatar of Devi Durga. The goddess was seen sitting on a huge lotus flower in the middle of the sea and gobbling an elephant and then throwing it up. She would repeat this time and again. The story is long and this painting was used to tell the story to villagers in olden days. It is a very old piece of art.
