Gathering of birds: Santhal Tribal Pattachitra by Manoranjan Chitrakar

In the artwork, Pattachitra maestro depicts the use of birds in blue, yellow, grey, and orange hues. Birds, in general, often symbolize freedom, harmony, and a connection to the spiritual world. The specific colors assigned to the birds add layers of meaning, creating a visual tapestry that communicates the cultural values and beliefs of the Santhal community. The specific combination of these colors and the portrayal of birds is likely unique to Santhal tribal art. It becomes a distinctive aspect of their cultural identity, reflecting the tribe's worldview, beliefs, and connection to nature. In the context of Santhal pattachitra, blue birds symbolize a connection to the divine, yellow birds could symbolize the vitality of nature, and the community, grey represents a harmonious coexistence between nature and the community, and orange signifies a deep connection to the earth, emphasizing the rootedness of the tribe in their natural surroundings.
