Pakhi - Square Wooden Coasters

Pakhi is the Bengali word for bird. The bird motif is a crucial and popular aspect of Indian folk art and has been a recurring motif in indigenous paintings and traditional art forms for centuries.

As society back then was deeply entwined with wildlife, the popular bird imagery has taken on several meanings. Birds drawn in pairs usually represent optimism, fertility, and rebirth.

Folkart - Pattachitra

Indigenous to the eastern Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha, the folk art form of Pattachitra is a reflection of India’s glorious past.

The artists - who are called Patuas - have immortalised religious, mythical, and folklore instances in scrolls of fabric. They use bright bold natural colours and a distinctive art style that is rooted in rural tradition.

In a traditional performance, the Patuas unfurl the scroll as they sing their Pater Gaan and mesmerise the audience as they transport them to a land of myth and legends.
