Fish Marriage | Bengal Patachitra Painting | A3 Frame

This framed A3 size Bengal Patachitra painting is inspired by a folk story of Santhal community. 

A marriage of two fish and the very happy gathering of groups of fish going for this marriage is an interesting theme that is depicted in this painting. A giant fish gets left out of the marriage party. The angry fish decides to attack and eat up the fishes! Hmmm, quite a story to carry with yourself! What say? Vibrant colours yellow, indigo, bottle green, khaki, crimson and dark brown of the painting create a dazzling effect. This painting will add beauty and brightness to your ethnic corner at your home- in the living room.

Art History - Scroll painting or PataChitra is a notable art form, coming from the tribal villages of West Bengal. These scrolls were visual accompaniments to stories told through songs and ballads. The Ramayan, tribal folklore and many other mythological stories have come alive with these beautifully illustrated scrolls. These paintings are traditionally made with natural mineral and vegetable colors. Delightful and earthy, these paintings reflect the ancient tradition of storytelling in India.

The painting is done by Suman Chitrakar, the Patua Artist from West Bengal.
