Patachitra defines Orissa best with its aesthetic value of Orissa culture.
Both cotton and silk canvas are used for paintings.
Colours used for patachitra are white (from conch shell), blue (from Khandneela), black (from coconut shells burnt powder, red (Hingulal), yellow (from Hartal), green (from neem leave), brown (from geru stone). The colours used are all natural rather than synthetic colours.
The brushes are made of hair of domestic animals.
Important themes are Thia Badhia (depiction of the Jagannath temple), Krishanalila (Jagannath as Krishana signifying his childhood feats), Dasabatara Patti (ten incarnations of Vishnu), Nabagunjara (a figure comprising nine different creatures), Kandarparath (Cupid’s Chariot - Krishna on chariot fully composed with colourful dress, a playful women).
