Vintage Jagannath Chariot Odisha Pattachitra Painting

This antique Odisha Pattachitra features the sacred triad of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra seated in their ceremonial chariot. Created on traditional patta cloth using natural stone pigments and organic binders, the artwork reflects the spiritual power and visual harmony of Puri’s temple art lineage. The intricate borders, stylized deity forms, and vibrant palette exemplify classical Chitrakar craftsmanship.

The painting displays natural aging—gentle pigment fading, lacquer softening, and patta texture shifts—each adding historical depth and authenticity. Its compact format makes it ideal for devotional corners, heritage homes, cultural galleries, and global collectors seeking rare Odisha folk art. The chariot theme, rooted in the Ratha Yatra tradition, symbolizes divine movement and spiritual blessing.
