Sachitra - Olive Ridley Turtle

The Olive Ridley Turtle, known for its mass nesting along Odisha’s coast, symbolises collective survival. Adorned in Ikat, a resist-dyed textile requiring precision and foresight, the artwork mirrors patience and synchrony. Kalighat Patachitra’s storytelling form transforms the turtle into a moving archive of oceans, traditions, and shared responsibility.
