Patakas
are specimens of paintings executed by Tantrik
sadhakas for personal worship. These portray
the worshipped deity:Hanuman, Devi, etc. along
with numerous yantras and mantras
all over the pictorial space. No professional
artists' help was sought in paintings these works
of Rajasthani provenance, mainly from Jodhpur.
An unusual portrayal of Hanuman by a Muslim sadhak
stands out prominently: nowhere to be seen except
in our collection.
