About Manjusha Anga Snake-Scroll

Manjusha art is the narrative scroll painting of the Anga region around Bhagalpur, Bihar — a storytelling tradition rooted in the Bihula-Bishahari snake-goddess legend and its annual Bishahari puja. Panels unfold sequentially like a folk comic strip, painted on handmade paper scrolls and on the temple-shaped Manjusha boxes carried in procession. Artists work in only three pigments — green for outline and nature, pink for excitement and sacrifice, yellow for joy and divinity — rendering flat, angular figures nicknamed "English alphabet" style for their stick-letter economy. X-shaped belpatra frames, wavy Lehariya lines and unbroken rows of snakes bind every panel.
