The Handpainted Jagannath Art We Started Selling — and Why It's the Right Rath Yatra Gift
"LoviesPoint now sells handpainted Jagannath circular wall art made in Bhubaneswar. Here's what it is, why it works as a Rath Yatra gift, and who should actually get one."
We don't sell prints. We should say that first.
The Jagannath pieces at LoviesPoint are painted by hand — each one individually, on a circular wooden board, with the same colour palette and mirror inlay work you'd see in traditional Odia art. No two are identical. The person who made the one in your order also made the border dots by hand, one at a time.
That's not a sales line. It's just what it is, and it's worth knowing before you see the price and assume it's mass-produced.
Why we added this to LoviesPoint
We've always made things by hand. The bouquets, the gift boxes — nothing at LoviesPoint comes out of a warehouse. When someone brought these Jagannath paintings to us, it made sense. Same craft ethic, different medium.
The timing also isn't accidental. Rath Yatra is here. If you're in Bhubaneswar — or from Bhubaneswar, or just from Odisha — you know what this time of year feels like. The chariots. The crowd on the Puri road. The way the city slows down and speeds up at the same time.
A piece of Jagannath art made in Bhubaneswar, during this season, means something different than ordering a printed poster off Amazon.
What's available
Single Jagannath face — circular wall art
This is Mahaprabhu Jagannath painted in the traditional Odia style. Black face, wide white eyes, the gold tilak, red lips. The border is a mandala of orange, red, and yellow petals with small mirror pieces set in. It's about 30cm across and has a hook on the back.
The detail on this piece is serious. The mirror inlay border takes longer to do than the face itself.
The trio set — Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra
Three pieces. Jagannath in black, Dau Balabhadra in white, Maa Subhadra in yellow. Each painted separately on its own circular board, with the same mandala border style. They can hang together as a column or across a wall.
Most people who buy this set get it for the puja room, or for a wall that needs something. They end up being the thing people ask about when they visit.
Who to give this to
Family outside Odisha. This is probably the clearest use case. Someone who grew up in Bhubaneswar or Puri and now lives in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad — they don't need another Amazon gift. A handpainted Jagannath piece from Bhubaneswar, arriving during Rath Yatra, is a different kind of gift entirely. It's home, in an object.
New home, new flat. Housewarming gifts are usually generic. This one isn't. A Jagannath piece for the wall of a new home in Bhubaneswar, or anywhere, is a real gift with a real reason behind it.
The puja room that needs something on the wall. Most puja rooms have framed prints. This is not a framed print.
Anyone who collects Odia art or cares about where their things come from. There's a growing group of people — in Odisha and outside it — who specifically look for handmade work. This is for them.
Shipping
Both pieces ship Pan India. Delivery takes 3–7 days depending on where you are. Each piece is packed carefully — the mirrors and paint are delicate and the packaging treats them that way.
For Bhubaneswar delivery, we can also do local handoff.

One thing worth saying
Rath Yatra comes every year. The paintings last much longer than that.
The person who receives one of these during Rath Yatra 2026 will still have it on their wall in 2031. That's not something you can say about most gifts.
