In the heart of West Bengal’s Pingla, art isn’t just a skill — it’s a way of life.

The village is home to the incredible Patachitra artists, who bring mythological tales, folk traditions, and social themes to life with their intricate, hand-painted scrolls.

Recently, Shibasish Saha shared a video showcasing these skilled artists at work, meticulously creating their masterpieces. Each stroke of the brush is a testament to centuries-old heritage, blending vivid colours, natural dyes, and storytelling into a timeless tradition.

Every November, the Patachitra Festival transforms Pingla into an open-air art gallery, inviting visitors from across the world to witness and support these artisans.
