Product Description
Folk painting inspired by the mythological story.
This framed A4 size Bengal Patachitra painting of Manasa is inspired by the story of the merchant Chand Sadagar and Manasa (Goddesses of snakes or Serpentine Goddess). Manasa is worshiped primarily for protection from snakebites.
Chand Sadagar was a great devotee of Shiva and he hated Manasa. On the wedding night of Lakhindar, the youngest son of Chand Sadagar and Behula, Lakhindar’s wife Manasa sent a snake to kill Lakhindar. Behula refused to accept her husband's death. She pleaded for her husband's life and promised Manasa that Chand Sadagar would worship her. Finally, Chānd worships Manasa and moved by Behula's love for her husband, Manasa restored Lakhindar.
Manasā is depicted as a woman covered with snakes, sitting on a lotus or standing upon a snake. She is sheltered by the canopy of the hoods of cobras. Chānd is seen offering flowers at Manasā and Behula is in a gesture of worship.
The detailing in Her figure brings in character and strength to the painting. The colors and intricate work classify the painting as a splendid effort by the artist. The jewelleries and ornamentation on the body and garments of the figures are created by fine white lines. This painting will add beauty and brightness to your ethnic corner at your home- in the living room.

Craft History - Scroll painting or PataChitra is a notable art form, coming from the tribal villages of West Bengal. These scrolls were visual accompaniments to stories told through songs and ballads. The Ramayana, tribal folklore and many other mythological stories have come alive with these beautifully illustrated scrolls. These paintings are traditionally made with natural mineral and vegetable colors. Delightful and earthy, these paintings reflect the ancient tradition of storytelling in India.
Artist- The painting is done by Suman Chitrakar, the Patua Artist from West Bengal.
