Abstract

The environment has deteriorated day by day in the age of urbanization and industrialization. The adverse effects of human growth on nature are always in the headlines. Deforestation has occurred as a result of this development process. Patchitra may have played a significant part in this. Patchitra has a considerable influence on environmental attitudes and hence plays a vital role in ecological protection. With the demonstrations, the artist encouraged reflection and conversation, conveying that we must break the cycle of destruction and avoid heinous crimes against nature and people. . The paper demonstrates how art has aided in environmental awareness. The primary goal of this paper is to increase awareness of the threats confronting the world, advocate its conservation, and motivate citizens to safeguard nature.
