Lord <a href="/wiki/Jagannath" title="Jagannath">Jagannath</a> in the present form is being taken as the origin of the Patta style. The colour schemes of the deities of Puri are quite similar to those of the Patta style. The oldest record of Patta Paintings does not probably go beyond the establishment of the present shrine of Shri Jagannath at Puri. It may be due to the fact that paintings do not survive like sculptures. The paints inside the shrines of Lord Jagannath at Puri make the date probable. The oldest classical marble paintings of Sitabanji at <a href="/wiki/Keonjhar" class="mw-redirect" title="Keonjhar">Keonjhar</a> do not conform to the present style of Patta painting wholly. The wooden statues of the three deities are also covered with cloth and then overlaid with glue mixed with chalk, and then given paint only with four limited colours of <a href="/wiki/Red" title="Red">red</a>, <a href="/wiki/Yellow" title="Yellow">yellow</a>, <a href="/wiki/White" title="White">white</a> and <a href="/wiki/Black" title="Black">black</a>.

If the Savara origin of <a href="/wiki/Jagannath" title="Jagannath">Jagannath</a> is accepted, the date of the Patta paintings can be dated back to an earlier period. These paintings were originally substitutes for worship on days when the idols were kept away from the public after their ritual bath. <sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Theme_and_style">Theme and style</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pattachitra&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Theme and style"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Easy_Pattachitra_of_Lord_Jagarnath.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Easy_Pattachitra_of_Lord_Jagarnath.jpg/220px-Easy_Pattachitra_of_Lord_Jagarnath.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="124" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Easy_Pattachitra_of_Lord_Jagarnath.jpg/330px-Easy_Pattachitra_of_Lord_Jagarnath.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Easy_Pattachitra_of_Lord_Jagarnath.jpg/440px-Easy_Pattachitra_of_Lord_Jagarnath.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4032" data-file-height="2268" /></a><figcaption>Pattachitra of Lord Jagarnath</figcaption></figure><p>The theme of Odia painting centres round the <a href="/wiki/Jagannath" title="Jagannath">Jagannath</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Vaishnava" class="mw-redirect" title="Vaishnava">Vaishnava</a> sect.

These are not free from monotonous repetitions, though at times this is necessary to accentuate the narrative character of the style. The lines are bold and clean and angular and sharp. Generally, there are no landscapes, perspectives, and distant views. All the incidents are seen in close juxtaposition.

By a painter of Puri, Odisha, ca. 1880/1910.</figcaption></figure><p>Traditionally the painters are known as <i>chitrakars</i>. A patta painter's home with all the members of family is his studio. Woman members prepare the glue, the canvas and apply colours what we call the fill-in, and give the final lacquer coating. The master hand, mostly the male member, draws the initial line and gives the final finishing. </p><p>Patta paintings are done on small strips of <a href="/wiki/Cotton" title="Cotton">cotton</a> cloth. The <a href="/wiki/Canvas" title="Canvas">canvas</a> is prepared by coating the clothing with a mixture of chalk and gum made from <a href="/wiki/Guar_gum" title="Guar gum">Guar</a> or <a href="/wiki/Tamarind" title="Tamarind">tamarind</a> seeds. Then it is rubbed by taking the help of two different stones and then the cloth is dried. The mixture of gum and <a href="/wiki/Chalk" title="Chalk">chalk</a> gives the cloth's surface a leathery finish on which the artists paint with vegetable, earth and stone colours.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The painters do not use pencil or <a href="/wiki/Charcoal" title="Charcoal">charcoal</a> for the preliminary drawings. They are so expert in the line that they simply draw directly with the brush either in light red or yellow. Then the colours are filled in. The final lines are drawn and the patta is given a lacquer coating to protect it from weather, thus making the painting glossy. This process of glazing or <a href="/wiki/Varnishing" class="mw-redirect" title="Varnishing">varnishing</a> is quite interesting. The painting is held over a fireplace so that the back of the painting is exposed to heat.
