About the Artwork +

Manoranjan Chitrakar fantastically portrays tribal people adorned with jewelry dancing in pairs in Santhal tribal pattachitra, encompassing various cultural, social, and artistic meanings. Pair dances with elaborate jewelry are often associated with festive and celebratory occasions within the Santhal community. The depiction of these dances in pattachitras signifies the celebration of significant cultural events or rites of passage. Tribal dances often involve community participation and serve as a means of fostering social bonds and unity. Pair dances symbolize the close social ties and cooperation within the Santhal community. The use of traditional jewelry, vibrant attire, and pair dances enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the pattachitra art. The intricacies and beauty of the jewelry and clothing contribute to the visual beauty of the painting.

Manoranjan Chitrakar blue-tick

Manoranjan
"In West Bengal, the word chitrakar refers to pattachitra painters. We have taken Chitrakar as our last name for hundreds of years" says Manoranjan aka Manu Chitrakar, who has been painting for 30 years since the age of 15. He enjoys depicting societal themes in his works. Manuji has travelled across India, as well as to Sweden and Paris. The Bengal Pattachitra is a visual and oral art tradition practised by West Bengal's Patuas or Chitrakars. Patua painters, who are Muslim by faith, represent a distinct and secular art history. They make a living by painting and singing stories from Hindu mythology, local folklore, Sufi tradition, and modern issues. Though the origins of the Patua tradition have been difficult for art historians to trace, some suggest the oral form dates back to the 10th or 11th century CE. The physical evidence of a scroll, on the other hand, does not occur until the 18th century CE.
