#Thread On the auspicious occasion of #RathaJatra21, showcasing the ancient art of #pattachitra, traditional paintings with scriptural narratives done on cloth. The village of #raghurajpur near Puri in Odisha is renowned for pattachitra. @odisha_tourism @arunbothra @PattachitraP 
Pattachitra is a combination of two Sanskrit words patta, meaning cloth, and chitra, meaning picture. Pattachitras are known for their colours and themes drawn from Hindu epics, scriptures as well as from folktales. @pramila_mallick @odisha_tourism @PiyushGoyal
#pattachitra themes are usually based on Thia Badhia - depiction of Lord Jagannath, Balbhadra and Subhadra, Krishna Lila, Dasabatara - the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, Dasmahabidyas - ten aspects of Shakti and other themes from Hindu scriptures. @PattachitraP

Read about one such plea seeking the rath yatra to be conducted at other sites apart from Puri #supremecourt #Rathyatra
