The beautiful image of Hanuman is given a royal and detail treatment in the Patachitra painting. The many headed Hanuman is shown trampling over the demons in Lanka, where he went in search of Sita Devi. The figure shows a fine treatment of pattern and colours. Derived from the Sanskrit words patta (a piece of cloth), chitra (painting or picture), Patachitra is a folk art form drawn on a piece of silk, cotton or any other fabric, portraying traditional motifs and imageries of religion and society.
