Patua painting is an Indian folk painting that originated in West Bengal. This type of art is traditionally drawn on a single piece of cloth known as a patti (or patta).
The paintings are sewn onto the scroll, which is strengthened by adding fabric to the back from the old sarees. It can also contain pictures of animals or scenes that are created by the artist.
Patua, like other traditional painters, began by painting scrolls or patuas depicting Mangal stories of gods and goddesses.
