Scene of fish marriage: Santhal Tribal Pattachitra by Manoranjan Chitrakar

Artist Manoranjan Chitrakar in Santhal Tribal Pattachitra portrays a fish marriage scene, a fascinating and culturally rich depiction in Pattachitra art. In many cultures, fish are symbols of fertility, abundance, and life. Depicting a marriage scene with fish signifies prosperity, growth, and the continuity of life within the Santhal community. The presence of a palanquin suggests a ceremonial and traditional aspect to the marriage. Palanquins are often associated with regality and special occasions, emphasizing the significance of the marital ceremony within the Santhal culture. The combination of elements—fish, colors, and the palanquin—likely contributes to a visual narrative. It represents a cultural myth, a traditional story, or conveys the values and beliefs surrounding marriage within the Santhal community.
