Jhumka & stone setting Finger Ring

A depiction of modern women of the then Kolkata in this Patachitra talks about the inclination of the upper class, urban women towards art and music. Painted in typical Pot Maya style, by a young artist of today, Rajesh Chitrakar, it shows the culture of Bengal. 

A couple gets intimate and romantic while spending time together. As a part of a story telling about the regular, day to day life, this piece of art makes for a sweet romantic tale. Such paintings, accompanied by songs, in olden days of no television serials, would serve the purpose of entertainment to the village women. They would listen to the stories sung by the Pata Shilpis and laugh and cry, and become one with the characters. This one is done by a young artist Rajesh Chitrakar.
