Ganesha in Sacred Strokes

Beyond the Patta. Within the Living Tradition.

In Odisha, sacred art has long been more than something to admire. During Anasara, when the deities of Puri's Jagannath Temple withdraw from public darshan, painted Anasara Pati sustain the encounter between devotion and divinity. In the hands of the Chitrakara, an image becomes more than an illustration — it becomes part of a living ritual.

Ganesha in Sacred Strokes carries this Pattachitra inheritance through diverse expressions of Shri Ganesha. Its distinctive lines, traditional pigments and intricate storytelling are not confined to the conventionally prepared patta. On Tussar silk, they find another canvas. On palm leaf, finely engraved compositions acquire colour and character through the same painting traditions that give Pattachitra its enduring identity.

From Nritya Ganapati to the many-headed Ganesha and the Tree of Life, these artworks bring generations of material knowledge and sacred imagination into contemporary homes, prayer spaces and thoughtful gifts.

From the Chitrakara's hands to your home — sacred stories finding new places to belong.
