Antique and original museum painting The Jagannath Trinity Deity from 19th century
It comes from Puri (orissa - India)
This painting is with frame and glass. I hope that the glass does not give problems to watch the paintg for the reflection of lights
description:the Jagannath triad, an important Hindu deity worshipped mainly in the state of Odisha, India. The work is a pictorial representation on cloth (patachitra) of the three gods:
- Jagannath: in the center, depicted with dark skin and large round eyes.
- Balabhadra: on the left, depicted with white skin.
- Subhadra: on the right, depicted with yellow skin.
The style of the painting is typical of the Odisha patachitra tradition, characterized by vibrant colors, bold lines, and intricate decorative motifs. The deities are depicted in a simplified yet powerful form, with joyful and serene expressions. The three are flanked by two attendants and surmounted by a row of dancing figures, probably apsaras or gandharvas, celestial beings from Hindu mythology. At the bottom, two four-legged mythical creatures, perhaps lions or tigers, seem to stand guard.
Religious and cultural context:
The Jagannath triad is the centerpiece of the famous Rath Yatra, or Chariot Festival, of Puri, Odisha. During this festival, the deities are carried in procession on huge chariots pulled by devotees. The worship of Jagannath is a form of Vaishnavism, one of the main traditions of Hinduism that venerates Vishnu as the Supreme God.

It's simply wonderful
The dimensions are 45x38,5x1,2 cm with frame (the frame is thin and has the glass). So it cannot considered similar to the litlle ones that were given as souvenir to the pilgrims
Ther are some time signs on the cloth as you can see, But this conditions give it a the right personality
A similar one i s saved in the British museum.
It comes from a private collection estate
the pictures explain in the best way.
