This tribal couple painting living room piece shows a round palm leaf painting of two standing figures, set inside a bamboo frame turned on its corner like a diamond. The man stands with a bow in his left hand, a feathered headdress on his head, while the woman beside him holds a flower or small bunch in her hands. A small black dog walks at their side. Tala patra chitra is an old palm leaf art of Odisha, and scenes of forest-dwelling couples are a familiar theme in it.

Where This Tribal Couple Painting Suits

The red cloth behind the round painting gives the wall a strong, warm centre. Four red thread spools tied at the corners and small gold ornaments on the cloth catch the eye from across a room. It looks best on a plain wall in a living room, a hallway or above a console, where daylight can fall across the pale leaf. Dust it gently with a dry soft cloth and keep it away from damp walls.

How Our Karigars Make It

Our karigars prepare the palm leaf, then draw the figures in fine black lines and fill them in by hand. The man wears a white dhoti with a yellow and green waistband and ornaments; the woman wears a red patterned skirt, necklaces and anklets, her hair tied up. Green trees stand on either side, and a zigzag black and cream ring runs around the border. Look closely at the thin cane sticks of the frame: they are joined by hand, so each frame sits slightly differently.

At Janijatra we pick each piece after studying its line work and finish with our own eyes. If you would like a different size, or a second painting to hang beside this one, our karigars will gladly make it for you. Write to us with any question.

The Art of Handcrafted Heritage

Every piece offered at Janijatra is an original work of art, handcrafted by skilled artisans who carry forward Odisha's centuries-old traditions of Pattachitra and Tala Patra Chitra. Each stroke is made by hand, making every creation distinct, soulful, and impossible to replicate exactly.

Made Exclusively for You

The artwork displayed in the image is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted piece. As our creations are individually made, the exact piece shown may already be sold or may not be currently available. Should you place an order, a new piece will be specially handcrafted for you with the same care and detail.

Being entirely handmade, slight variations in colour, fine detailing, or finish may appear when compared to the original image. These subtle differences are not flaws — they are the signature of authentic, handcrafted art, and a mark of the human touch behind every piece.

Thoughtful Packaging & Safe Delivery

We understand that each artwork is precious. Every piece is carefully packed using protective materials to ensure it reaches you in pristine condition. Fragile creations are given special attention, with secure wrapping and reinforced packaging designed to safeguard the artwork throughout its journey to your doorstep.

Caring for Your Artwork

To preserve the beauty of your piece for years to come, a few simple steps go a long way. For paintings on cloth and palm leaf, keep your artwork away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture, as these may affect the natural colours over time. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid using water or chemical cleaners. For traditional palm leaf (Tala Patra) works, store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the leaf.

Stone artworks are durable by nature and can be placed both indoors and outdoors, making them a beautiful addition to gardens, balconies, and open spaces as well as interior settings.
