ABOUT THE ART
Pattachitra art form is known for its intricate details as well as mythological narratives and folktales inscribed in it. Pattachitra was originally created for ritual use and as souvenirs for pilgrims to the Jagannath Puri temple.
WHAT WE LEARN
Jyeshtha Maas, the scorchiest summer month is the month when the trio of Lord Jagannatha, Balabhadra and Subhadra move out of the sanctum to take a holy bath on the day of Snana Purnima.
After bathing with 108 pitchers of aromatic water during the hot day, the deities catch fever. For treatment, they move into Anasar Ghar (sick room) for a fortnight long quarantine.
Post the treatment, they appear to public, rejuvenated, a day before the Rath Yatra. Their journey back to the sanctum is marked as the Celebrated Rath Yatra.
But what happens to the temple, when the deities are sick? In the place of idols, Pattis or paintings or Pattachitras are placed that are known as ANASARA PATTI
This ritual is where the Pattachitra tradition actually began. These Pattis represent full human forms of Lord Jagannatha as Sri Narayana, Lord Balabhadra as Shri Basudev and Devi Subhadra as Maa Bhubaneswari
This year, Snana Purnima fell on June 14 and the deities are recovering in the Anasar Ghar currently.
We will learn the Narayan swaroop of Lord Jagannath during the workshop as illustrated in the attached images, beginning right from sketching, moving to coloring and detailing following the authentic process of Pattachitra paintings.
