Pattabhisekham means coronation ceremony of the kings. "Pattabhisekham" is a term derived from the Sanskrit language, where "pat" means "to be fit" or "to deserve," and "abhisekham" means "coronation" or "anointment." In Hinduism, the coronation of a king or deity is a significant event, symbolizing their accession to power, authority, and divine blessings. Ram Pattabhisekham indicate a ceremony or celebration associated with the coronation or anointing of Lord Rama, a revered figure in Hinduism. Lord Rama is considered the seventh avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu and is a central character in the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana. His life and deeds serve as a moral and spiritual guide for millions of people
Pattachitra is a traditional art form from the state of Odisha, which was formerly known as Orissa in India. It is a unique style of painting that involves intricate and colorful designs depicting mythological stories, religious themes, and cultural motifs. The word "Pattachitra" is derived from two Sanskrit words, "patta" meaning canvas or cloth and "chitra" meaning painting. Traditionally, Pattachitra paintings were created by a community of artists known as the "Chitrakars," who would travel from village to village, narrating stories through their art. The process of creating Pattachitra paintings was highly labor-intensive and time-consuming. Pattachitra art has not only survived for centuries but has also evolved and adapted to contemporary themes and styles. It continues to be highly regarded as a cultural treasure and is recognized as one of the most important traditional art forms of Odisha, showcasing the region's rich artistic and cultural heritage.
