Dark Blue Net Hand-Painted Pattachitra Dupatta

Dark Blue Hand-Painted Pattachitra Net Dupatta – The Legend of Manika and the Divine Brothers

On a quiet path to Kanchi, hidden in the robes of ordinary soldiers, Lord Jagannath and Balabhadra walked unnoticed—until they stopped at a small village. There, a kind-hearted milkmaid named Manika offered them curd, unaware of their divine identities. Touched by her generosity, they left behind a precious gem. That simple act gave birth to a legend—and the village came to be called Manikapatna, a name that carries devotion to this day.

This dark blue net dupatta, hand-painted in the traditional Pattachitra style, brings this cherished Odia folklore to life. One end tells the story—curd in clay pots, divine smiles exchanged, and a humble gift of gratitude. The rest of the dupatta is adorned with fine detailing, keeping the focus on the tale that continues to live on in every corner of Odisha.

Each stroke is hand-done, each detail unique. Minor paint flicks or color variations are part of its handmade charm. Handle gently with a cold water hand wash and iron from the reverse side.

Drape a piece of Odisha’s soul—where legends are still alive in fabric and form.
