Who knew a humble coaster could carry over a thousand years of artistic tradition? This Handcrafted Wooden Coaster from Odisha, topped with real palm leaf and detailed Pattachitra painting, brings a touch of heritage to your table—while politely protecting it from cup stains.
Each piece begins with a wooden base, overlaid with carefully treated palm leaf—a natural canvas once used to illustrate epic tales in temples. Onto this, skilled artisans hand-paint intricate Pattachitra motifs using fine brushes and a steady hand (and likely more patience than we have on Mondays).
The result? A coaster that’s not just functional but fascinating—a conversation starter that says, “Yes, I care about tradition and my coffee table.” Lightweight, beautifully detailed, and one-of-a-kind, it’s perfect for hosting with flair, gifting thoughtfully, or simply making your daily chai feel like a curated moment.
These coasters are not machine-made or mass-produced. They’re crafted slowly and sustainably by real artists in Odisha, whose families have passed down this storytelling art form for generations.
So go ahead—make space on your table for something meaningful. Because when your coaster looks this good, even your mug sits up a little straighter.

STORY BEHIND THIS CRAFT
The story of your coaster begins centuries ago—not in a factory, but under the shade of palm trees and temple spires in Odisha. The palm leaf, once a sacred manuscript in India’s eastern traditions, served as a canvas for stories of gods, legends, and folklore long before paper became common. These leaves were carefully dried, treated, and inscribed or painted with Pattachitra, a distinctive art form native to Odisha.
Pattachitra, meaning “cloth painting,” dates back to the 12th century, originally created as devotional scrolls depicting tales of Lord Jagannath, Krishna, and Hindu mythology. Over time, this intricate style evolved from temple art to household adornment—its intricate lines, earthy colours, and mythic themes still lovingly preserved by artisan families in villages like Raghurajpur, the heartland of Pattachitra.
Today, these same traditions are being thoughtfully adapted to everyday objects like coasters—bringing heritage into the homes of modern craft lovers. The palm leaf continues to serve as a natural, textured canvas, now mounted on wood and hand-painted by skilled artisans who treat each piece not as merchandise, but as a miniature story.
