Kalighat painting or Kalighat Pat originated in the 19th century in West Bengal, India, in the vicinity of Kalighat Kali Temple, Kalighat, Calcutta.

Characterised by bright colours and bold outlines, Kalighat painting evolved as a unique genre of Indian painting.

At this time, the works were sold to visitors who sought souvenirs to take with them from the religious sanctuary.

From the depiction of gods and other mythological characters, these paintings developed over time to reflect a variety of themes.
Painted mostly on mill-made paper with flowing brushwork and bold dyes (often homemade).
Kalighat painting continues today in the rural districts of West Bengal. Medinipur and Birbhum are two such areas where the practice of Kalighat painting has been kept alive by contemporary artists.
Using organic dyes, as the original 19th century patuas did, the paintings they create focus on secular themes and current events as well as a mixture of religions depictions, executed in a modern style.
Kalighat paintings were often a joint effort by a group of artists – usually from the same family. So while some members ground ingredients to create homemade dyes, others drew outlines of the figures, filled in the hues, or added the final touches in the form of motifs and background designs. These were then typically brought to be sold in the city.
This type of painting continues to influence and charm artists and art lovers in contemporary India.
The late artist Jamini Roy is among some of the most acclaimed painters who have been influenced by the distinctive style.
Today, Kalighat paintings appear in museums and galleries across the globe, from the Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata to the Naprstek Museum in Prague.
