The Birds in Frolic: Santhal Tribal Pattachitra by Manoranjan Chitrakar

Skilled artist Manoranjan Chitrakar’s Santhal-Tribal Pattachitra Painting comes alive with the flamboyant birds frolicking in a celebration of color and culture. This traditional art form hails from the Santhal tribes of India, telling stories of their rich heritage. Chitrakar masterfully employs bold and contrasting hues, evoking the tribal spirit with every stroke. The intricate patterns and motifs, a hallmark of Pattachitra, dance across the canvas, depicting tales of life, love, and nature. The birds, with their vivid plumage, represent the harmony between man and the environment. Chitrakar’s work not only enchants the eye but also offers a glimpse into the soul of the Santhal tribe, their traditions, and their love for nature.
