A village has 120 families and everyone of them is preserving 2500 years old art form till now.

Welcome to the heritage Village Raghurajpur which is 12 Km away from Jagannath puri. Beautiful crafted homes having traditional Courtyards in front of their gates but as soon as you enter them you will found yourself in a different world where the empire of Colors and Art rules.

Historian says that we can find from 3rd BCE traces here for artisans. This village is famous for its Pattchitra.

Pattachitra are painting drawan earlier on palm leaves but now on Cloth and every painting describe a different story.
