Miniature Painting on the house walls
|
Raghurajpur, plays host to the creation of some colourful priceless pieces of art.Fruits and flowers volunteer to be pulped into hue and be filled into these paintings.The palm leaf ,the coconut and betel nut offer themselves for a canvas.The artists' safeguard the art humbly and the sleepy hamlet stands testimony for thousands of years to nourish the art of the Gods.
Raghurajpur...........a hamlet en-route Puri , is the beautiful
amalgamation of heritage crafts and art ; dedicated to the Gods and culture
of Orissa. The Patta and Tal Patra paintings of Orissa need no
introduction.The Orissan mask, coir toys,cow dung toys , wooden toys all are crafted in this village .....just a break of some hours and the memories you carry back are priceless.
