Answer 1

Answer:

One of the oldest, as well as prevalent art forms of Odisha, is Pattachitra. Just as the name suggests, Pattachitra is a combination of ‘Patta‘, meaning cloth/canvas, and ‘Chitra‘, meaning picture. This form of Orissa’s art, an amalgamation of naturally extracted bright colours, has its origin strongly linked to the temple traditions of Puri. Most of the artisans or ‘Chitrakars’ hail from one of the smaller villages of Puri, Raghurajpur. Popular illustration themes that are chosen by the Pattachitra Chitrakars revolve around various Hindu Gods and mythologies. Different forms of Lord Jagannath.... and Lord Ganesha are also quite common.
