These paintings mirrored their daily life, nature, myths and legends with intricately done motifs using thin thread for embroidery on fabrics like Silk Tussar and Chanderi. Intricate and graceful, these pieces will make heads turn amidst the revelry!
• Bengal Patachitra – The tradition patachitra from Bengal were the paintings of the region depicting mythological, religious stories, folklore and social subjects.
