Moyna Chitrakar is an artist and storyteller from the Patua artisan community in the Midnapore district of West Bengal. She cooperated on "Sita's Ramayana," a graphic novel adaptation of the classic Indian story of the exiled prince Rama and his wife Sita, with Bangalore-based playwright Samhita Arni. Since neither the artist nor the writer speaks Bengali, communication between the two proved difficult. In 2010, Tara Books in Chennai published the book.
