Patachitra is a form of artsy storytelling popular in parts of rural India where large scrolls are used. Kalighat patachitra told the stories of nineteenth-century colonial Bengal in single sheets using bold colours and single lines. It won the hearts of the urban pilgrims by painting stunningly beautiful religious iconographies. Later, the artists started to portray contemporary social scenes in colonial Bengal.
