PAYTAKAR ARTS

Jharkhand's paintingThe painting named as paytakar arts is found across the length and breadth of the undivided singhbhum district .People from the payatakar community roam around from place to place and reach a house where a person has recently died or new baby is born.
They would go on telling stories and singing song on the self composed lyrics . The artisans paint on soiled and used paper paint on soiled and used paper using vermilion and natural colour .
Colour is applied with the aid of a needle or the hairs of a goat .Tales of garur puran from the very essence of these paintings.The languishing painting has been successfully received and we have more than 100 artists of this painting today.
