Changes over the Years
• Technology: - The technology of the painting is still the same as it used to be. The only difference being that they use mouse haired brushes for more detailed work.
• Design: - Patachitra started with religious paintings of Lord Jagannath and other mythological stories. Now the Patachitras are minutely detailed and intricate.
• Market: - Paintings were made only for religious purposes and were painted on a canvas. New market is now demanding Patachitra on Tussar silk as wall hangings
