Amazing unparalled example of the art category 'Puri Patta' or Pilgrim's Souvenir
The vivid colors are characteristic of the historical folk art of the region.
The cotton cloth is treated before painting and after painting with lacquer to protect the paint. Jatripattis were done by reed pens and had bold lines. Jatripattis are religious souvenirs of the kind that were given to the pilgrims who visited Jagannatha temple in Puri until the start of the century (1900s). The old methods of painting have now been discontinued.
Hindus have four important pilgrimage spots -known as 'Chaar Dhaam' that a devout Hindu ought to visit during his lifetime. The Jagannath temple of Puri is one of them.
The subject is the story of Jagannath & Balabhadra accepting milk from Manika.
