Jhoti chita muruja designs of Odisha

Odisha art and culture stands tall today even in modern culture of 21st century. We odia still believe in our old traditions.

During Festivals and Puja's still in most of the odia home, we can find jhoti designs painted in and out of home. This looks good and feel awesome. Mostly these motifs looks perfect on muddy walls of old house in villages where beautiful women's wake up early on each festivals, take bath and wear the new saree purchased from local market or any of the online shopping shop in india and draw these unique patterns which we called chita , jhoti. We use muruja to design them.
