The Mata Ni Pachedi art has been created by SANJAY CHITARA and his son SUMIT CHITARA who live in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Painting Mata Ni Pachedi is a family tradition that has been passed down to them from their ancestors.

The painting shows Khodiyar Maa being visited by a myriad of pandits and deities. Her 6 sisters are also shown along the banks. The legend of Maa Khodiyar is around 700 AD. A man called Mamadiya Gadhvi (Mamadji Charan) lived in the Roishala village in Bhavnagar district. He had good relations with the then ruler Maharaj Shilbhadra. The ruler's ministers envied this exceptional relationship and hatched a plan to get rid of him.

One day, the doorkeepers did not let Mamadiya go into the palace and he was told that a childless man is not worthy of the king's presence. Mamadiya returned home and prayed to the god Shiva for progeny and decided to perform "Kamal pooja" by sacrificing his life. Just when he was about to kill himself, Shiva appeared and took him to the Snake Kingdom – Nagaloka to see the King of Snakes – Nagadev.

After hearing his story, the Nagadev's youngest daughter and her seven siblings decided to help him. The youngest daughter advised him to make eight cradles for eight children. Later due to the boon of Shiva and Nagadev, he was blessed with seven daughters (one being Janbai alias Khodiyar) and a son. The children were raised as fearsome warriors and always wore black cloths in memory of their native place, Nagaloka. Therefore, they were given the names as cobra sisters or Nagnechi, who was also the tutelary deity of the royal house of the erstwhile Marwar state.

Janbai saved her brother's life who was bit by a venomous bite by journeying underwater to Nagaloka and returned with Amrita (the elixir of life) with her.

The artwork has been created by HARINATH NAMBHAKAM who is a Kalamkari artist from Srikalashti. He has an experience of over 35 years in this art skill.

There are two identifiable styles of Kalamkari art in India – Srikalahasti style and Machilipatnam style. In the Machilipatnam style of Kalamkari, motifs are essentially printed with hand-carved traditional blocks with intricate detailing painted by hands. On the other hand, Srikalahasti style of painting draws inspiration from the Hindu mythology describing scenes from the epics and folklore. This style holds a strong religious connect because of its origin in the temples.

In recent times, two other types of Kalamkari patterns have also emerged, based on the states where it is created. Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh are two prime states in India, where two different types of Kalamkari patterns are done. The Andhra Kalamkari borrows design inspiration from forts, palaces and temples of India, along with motifs of animals and birds. While the Gujarat Kalamkari depict motifs of mythological characters like Krishna-Arjuna from Mahabharata, lord Krishna, lord Ganesha, lord Buddha etc.
