Raas Leela Pattachitra Medium Tray – Handcrafted Wooden

Among all the stories Pattachitra artists tell, the Raas Leela, Krishna's circular dance with the gopis under a full moon, remains one of the most celebrated, painted for generations in Odisha's temple towns as a scene of divine joy and devotion. This medium tray captures that dance in Pattachitra's signature fine outlines and flat, jewel-toned colour.

The motif is decoupaged onto engineered wood and sealed for daily use, holding onto the intricate detailing artists have refined over generations without asking you to treat it delicately. Its compact size makes it easy to fit into a smaller serving routine or a tighter display shelf.

It's a fitting gift for anyone who loves Krishna iconography, classical Indian dance themes, or Odisha's rich painting heritage.
