Archival note & context

Tamarind-seed gum canvas (patta) is attested in the primary archival record for Raghurajpur Pattachitra in Raghurajpur & Puri, Odisha, India.

Chitrakar families of Odisha laminate layers of cotton cloth with boiled tamarind-seed gum and burnish chalk-stone gesso with river pebbles before painting Jagannath triad icons and Vaishnava narratives.

Protected under India's Geographical Indications Registry; awaiting an independent practitioner-count source to move out of grey.
