Chitra-Pothi: The Exquisite Art of Illustrated Palm-Leaf Manuscripts


A hidden gem of Orissan artistry, the tradition of illustration on palm-leaf flourished alongside the meticulous copying of kavya texts. Reaching its peak in the 18th century, this delicate craft produced numerous chitra-pothis—illustrated palm-leaf manuscripts—blending literature and visual storytelling.


Chitra-Pothi: Illustrated Palm-Leaf Manuscripts from Orissa delves into:


 The rich literary tradition of Orissa, which laid the foundation for palm-leaf art.

 The intricate process of creating chitra-pothis— from the role of the scribe, artist, and patron to the crafting techniques.

 The significance of palm-leaf artboth as an extension of literary texts and as an art form in its own right.


A captivating exploration of this rare and refined artistic tradition, this book offers a window into an era where literature and art merged seamlessly onto fragile yet enduring palm leaves.
