Significance of the Fish Scroll

The Authentic Pattachitra Fish Scroll holds deep spiritual and cultural meaning in Bengal’s folk art tradition. In Indian culture, the fish symbolizes prosperity, fertility, and harmony, representing the rhythm of life and abundance. Each brushstroke in this Fish Scroll evokes the natural balance between humanity and the divine. The Authentic Pattachitra Fish Scroll serves as both a visual story and a symbolic charm for your home, embodying spiritual richness and artistic beauty.

In traditional Authentic Pattachitra art, the fish motif is more than a design; it is a storyteller. For generations, Bengal’s Patuas—folk painters and singers—have narrated mythological and social tales through scrolls known as pata. Each continues this storytelling tradition, bringing together emotion, devotion, and heritage.

Traditional Craftsmanship in Every Fish Scroll

This pattachita  is hand-painted using eco-friendly natural pigments. Red comes from Geru Pathar, yellow from Halud Pathar, black from Bhushokali, and white from Khorimati clay. These pigments create luminous, long-lasting hues that make it stand out. Measuring 26 × 12 inches, this scroll is crafted on handmade paper, known for its strength and earthy texture. The painting is unframed and shipped rolled, allowing you to frame it to suit your style. Each Fish Scroll is unique—no two are identical—showcasing the authenticity of human touch and artistic emotion.

The Timeless Beauty of the Pattachitra Art

This stands as a beautiful expression of Bengal’s cultural storytelling. The delicate brushwork, natural pigments, and traditional patterns make every piece a masterpiece.
