A digital bahaghara card
Bahaghara is the Odia wedding, and the bahaghara card its invitation. This one is painted in Pattachitra, the cloth painting of Puri, and opens like a palm-leaf manuscript.
It can open with ଜୟ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ and carry ଶୁଭ ବିବାହ — chosen from a list, so nobody has to type Odia — with everything else in English so every guest can read it.
It shows the temple at dawn, never its deities, and plays its own music.
How Pattachitra opens
A palm-leaf manuscript unties itself, and every ceremony paints itself in Pattachitra.
- 01
A palm-leaf bundle unties itself
A bundle of palm leaves tied with red thread. One tap, a bell, and the leaves fan open with the family's name, your names and the date.
- 02
Through the Lion Gate
The temple at dawn paints itself, ink first and then watercolour; then guests walk in through the Lion Gate as they scroll, into golden light.
- 03
Your names on a betel leaf
Inside, a betel leaf draws itself — veins, a sindoor dot, a grain of turmeric rice — and your names are written onto it under ଶୁଭ ବିବାହ.
- 04
Rub the palm leaves
The date is engraved on palm leaves; guests rub in the soot until the letters darken.
- 05
Every ceremony paints itself
Each ceremony's Pattachitra painting appears in ink, blooms into colour and then moves with the scroll; your photos swing past in painted frames.
- 06
Puri beach at sunset
A Konark wheel turns over the days left, and the farewell is Puri beach at sunset; every wish is written on a palm leaf and laid on the bundle.

Questions families ask
Can it say Jai Jagannath?
Yes. Choose ଜୟ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ as the opening line and ଶୁଭ ବିବାହ as the greeting from a list — or leave either out. Nobody has to type Odia.
Is the whole invitation in Odia?
Only those two lines. The rest is in English, so every guest can read it, including family outside Odisha.
Can we add the Nirbandha or Bahu Bhata?
Yes. Rename any ceremony the way your family says it — Nirbandha, Mangana, Bahu Bhata — or add one of your own.
Can it show when the groom's party sets out?
Yes. Add it as the wedding's note — "The groom's party sets out at 6:30 pm" — and list the programme, from the giving away of the bride to the seven steps.
What does it cost?
Free to make and to try as long as you like; ₹1,999 once on the day you send it.
