He has beautifully done Pattachitra on glass, fabric and terracotta, defying the popular notion that Pattachitra can only be done on palm leaves. Know the Art: Talapatrachitras, these palm leaf paintings hold a world of tales and secrets, beautifully depicted by the artists of Orissa. The traditions of pattachitra paintings are more than thousand years old. Palm leaf pattachitra is created by first waiting for all the leaves to dry out after being taken from tree. These are then sewn together to form a canvas. The images are traced by using black or white ink to fill grooves etched on rows of equal-sized panels of palm leaf that are sewn together. These panels can also be easily folded like a fan and packed in a compact pile for better conservation.
