The Hoogly and Manbhum ‘pats’ have a modern approach with abstract linear treatment. Patachitra is an ancient folk art of Bengal. Art lovers all over the world appreciate it for its effortless style of drawings, colours, lines and space usage. The world Pata derived from the Sanskrit word Patta means cloth. The painters are called Patuas . Patuas do not just paint, they also sing as they unfurl the painting scroll to show it to the audience. These songs are known as Pat-er Gaan and this differentiates the art from many other art-forms. Before this caught attention of people beyond the respective villages, the Patuas used to go out in the morning, showing their artwork in nearby villages and explaining those drawings with the songs they used to write and put to tune. The songs range from traditional mythological tales and tribal rituals to stories based on modern Indian history and contemporary issues like protecting forests and preventing spread of HIV/AIDS Patuas generally use natural colours, which they procure from various trees, leaves, flowers and clays like yellow colour is obtained from turmeric, red from a local fruit called Lotkon, blue from petals of Aparajita flower, green from leaves of Broad Beans (Sheem) tree or Strings beans ( Borboti ) tree and so on . The colours are then mixed with sap of wood apple tree (bel) as a binder. Long scrolls are the most well-known shape of pattachitra . The Patuas slowly unroll them as they share the stories through their songs. Square formats are also popular and seems like has a greater demand because they cost less and are easy to carry . Patachitra has even been mentioned in Puranas and Epics. ‘
