Bards and storytellers would go from village to village narrating the stories through song and as the story unfolds, each corresponding scene is unfolded in the scroll. The paintings are made on paper glued to layers of cotton cloth, usually old saris, with a natural glue and chalk to create leather like surface. The colours used are all natural stone or vegetable colours and the brushes are made of various animal hairs, depending on the thickness required. The themes are usually of the Ramayana, Mahabhaarat, Sita Haran, Manasa Mangal, Chandi Mangal, history of the Santhals etc. These days the chitrakars touch on current topics such as the evils of the dowry system, global warming, de-forestation, AIDS, cancer etc. The paintings displayed depict the marriage between frogs.
