Kalighat Painting and Kalam Patua: Contemporary Chronicler

The Kalighat patachitra (painting) of the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries developed as ritual-devotional souvenirs, depicting social issues and quotidian life in the areas adjoining the temple of goddess Kali in Kolkata’s Kalighat on the bank of the Adi Ganga — the older channel of the Ganges. The genre of Kalighat painting stands at the ambivalent zone between the art forms of the decaying court and an older mercantile patronage, coalescing the folk arts of Bengal and visual practices ushered in by the East India Company. Kalighat painting, as researchers have shown (Jain 1999), was articulated along the urban contingencies of the colonial era rather than being a peripheral art practice.
