Ranjit Chitrakar is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Ranjit Chitrakar painted Kalighat-style scrolls in the 2000s, continuing a tradition that started near Kolkata’s Kalighat temple. His Kartik scroll from that year shows the god Kartik on a peacock, wrapped in bold outlines and flat colors. These lively folk paintings were once sold to temple visitors as souvenirs. Tap Kartik to see how the style balances everyday craft with mythic figures.
