In Bengal pattachitra, the painting is only half of it. The other half is a song. For generations, painters called patuas have carried long painted scrolls from village to village, unrolling them one frame at a time while singing the story aloud. The scroll shows the pictures, and the song brings them to life. This guide from Meri Katha takes you into that world, from the painters' village in West Bengal to the colors they make by hand, so you can understand what a Bengal pattachitra really is before you bring one home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":275,\"w\":524,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":516,\"abs_y\":440}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":275,\"w\":271,\"h\":28,\"abs_x\":516,\"abs_y\":440}'\u003eWhat Is Bengal Pattachitra?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":315,\"w\":524,\"h\":78,\"abs_x\":516,\"abs_y\":480}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":315,\"w\":518,\"h\":77,\"abs_x\":516,\"abs_y\":480}'\u003eBengal pattachitra, also called patachitra or simply pat, is a traditional scroll painting from West Bengal.
