Kalighat Paintings: Associated City

Kalighat paintings represent a unique style of Indian folk art, characterized by bold lines and vibrant colours. This art form flourished in the 19th century.

The name "Kalighat" itself points to its origin. These paintings emerged from the vicinity of the Kalighat temple in Kolkata, West Bengal.

Therefore, Kolkata is the city famously associated with the origin and development of Kalighat paintings.

Option 1: Banaras - Known for its religious significance and traditional arts, but not Kalighat paintings.
Option 2: Kolkata - The correct location where Kalighat paintings originated.
Option 3: Nathdwara - Famous for Pichwai paintings.
Option 4: Madurai - Known for its Meenakshi Temple and South Indian cultural heritage.
