Matsya is the Sanskrit word for Fish. Being the animal form (avatar) of Lord Vishnu, a fish has a revered post in the history of Indian culture.
Fishes are popular characters in several folk tales. The painting on the coaster is from a beautiful story about the fish's wedding, that the Patuas sing about.
Folkart - Pattachitra
Indigenous to the eastern Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha, the folk art form of Pattachitra is a reflection of India’s glorious past.
The artists - who are called Patuas - have immortalised religious, mythical, and folklore instances in scrolls of fabric. They use bright bold natural colours and a distinctive art style that is rooted in rural tradition.
In a traditional performance, the Patuas unfurl the scroll as they sing their Pater Gaan and mesmerise the audience as they transport them to a land of myth and legends.
