This painting is a folk art called Pattachitra, depicting a parade of elephants across a landscape filled with gentle hills, grass, and small plants.
The artwork is vertically long and filled from top to bottom with rows of elephants— each distinct in colour, ornamentation, and size. Each elephant is adorned with intricate decorative textiles, saddle cloths, anklets, and head ornaments, rendered with detailed line work and fine patterns typical of Indian folk art.Elephants in Indian art symbolise wisdom, strength, and royal grandeur. Their repetition here suggests prosperity, abundance, and harmony in diversity.Try it!
