Kalighat Painting
Kalighat painting originated in 19th-century Kolkata, flourishing near the Kalighat temple as a unique art form that portrayed devotional themes alongside scenes from everyday life. Recognized for its bold, sweeping brushstrokes, graceful yet simplified forms, and vibrant use of color, it often wove together religious imagery with subtle social and political commentary. Crafted on paper using natural or water-based pigments, each work reflects a blend of deep cultural tradition and creative innovation. Perfect for homes and offices, Kalighat paintings infuse spaces with visual charm, heritage richness, and the timeless artistic spirit of Bengal’s celebrated cultural legacy.
