About the Book

Chitrakathi is a story that is retold with the help of pictures. This traditional art is cherished by the Thakar community of Maharashtra. The storyteller selects a story from Mahabharata, Ramayana, or 'Puranas. The story is then illustrated with 30 to 50 Chitrakathi paintings. These paintings are compiled in one Pothi.

Storytellers travel with their pothis to various villages. When a storyteller arrives in a village, in the evenings people gather in the temple courtyard. The storyteller tells his story with the help of the illustrations in his Pothi. Storytelling continues into the night. This entertaining program is accompanied by singing and music.

Through this book, we bring to you some loved Chitrakathi drawings. Shri Parashuram Vishram Gangavane and family of Sindhudurg, is taking great efforts to preserve, protect and promote Chitrakathi art through TAKA (Thakar Adivasi Kala Aangan) Museum & Art Gallery.

To color these pictures - Keep away your mobile. Turn off all screens. Close your eyes. Focus on your breathing. Then, tear off one page and start coloring. You can color it with poster colors or water colors. Color at your own pace. Color in your own rythm. There is no hurry. Nor is it necessary to complete the painting in one sitting. Just enjoy the process. The quiet time with yourself. Once done, you can frame it and decorate your wall with it.
