Pattachitra art form is dedicated to which Lord in Hindu mythology?
Lord Jagannath
The correct answer is Lord Jagannath.
Pattachitra is a traditional cloth-based scroll painting from Odisha and parts of West Bengal. The word literally means "cloth-picture" (patta = cloth, chitra = picture). Traditionally practised by the Chitrakar community of Puri, its most iconic themes are the legends of Lord Jagannath and the Vaishnava cult — the Jagannath–Balabhadra–Subhadra trinity, the Anasara period paintings, Krishna Leela and Dashavatara.
The paintings use natural dyes on tamarind-glued cloth and are known for bold outlines, floral borders and rich mineral colours. Ganesha, Shiva and Brahma are not the principal subjects of the Pattachitra tradition.
