Tucked away in her narrow lanes are beautiful mansions;

preserving art that carry with them age-old stories, nostalgia, and belonging,

Maintaining her balance between majesty and decay;
silent luxury and casual allure

Anwar Chitrakar

Born in 1980, Anwar Chitrakar is a Patua artist with an artistic lineage that stretches back to his father, Amar Chitrakar, who instilled in him the time-honored techniques of the Kalighat art. Bengali Pat paintings come from a unique religious blend where both, Muslim and Hindu artists would paint the image of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. Hailing from West Bengal, Anwar is part of a small community of Patuas, village artists who craft vertical scroll paintings. These scrolls depict tales of Indian gods and goddesses, mythological figures, and narratives like those of Krishna and Rama.

  • I was immediately attracted to Pattachitra the moment I saw those dim colors and fine work. The team at Bridge Bharat along with the artist Geetanjali Ji managed to create a very contemporary composition in an ancient artform.
    Breathtaking!
