Kalighat Painting is a style of Indian art that emerged in the 19th century in Bengal. It was created by a group of specialized scroll painters known as "patuas" in the vicinity of the Kalighat Kali Temple in Kolkata, West Bengal. Typically created on paper with flowing brushwork and bold, often homemade, dyes, Kalighat Art is characterized by bold outlines, vibrant colour tones, and minimal background details. These paintings primarily depict mythological stories, Hindu gods and goddesses. Kalighat paintings quite often tend to be a collaborative effort involving a group of artists, often from the same family. Adorn your home with this exquisite
