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. A depiction of a tribal marriage ceremony is beautifully borne by this painting.

Babu Bibi
A narrative of a regular couple’s life where the Bibi (wife) is sulking and the Babu (man) is trying to get her back in good mood by pampering her. Such stories, back in time of no television, would serve as the source of entertainment to village women. This one is done by Bahadur Chitrakar, who in his youth, would sing along and the audience would sit together in one of the courtyards of the village to listen and enjoy.

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.
