<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Santal Pat''' scrolls that deal with the origins of the [[Santals, The|santal]][[Santals, The|s]] and their views of the life after death. These pats are used extensively in Purulia and in the north-eastern regions of Bankura in [[West Bengal|west bengal]], where the Santals form the leading. Their artists thus tend to draw pictures that narrate the origins of their tribe based on their folk tales; the tale of Korizak is one such story.<br />
<br />
The pictures are drawn in five parts. Starting from top to bottom they illustrate: 1. a submerged world; two swans, one male and the other female, flying over water; there is no dry place for them to sit on; 2. an earthworm building a plot of land out of the water; 3. the swans living on land and the female swan laying a couple of eggs; 4. two swans emerging out of the eggs, one male and the other female; 5. the first man and woman (like Adam and Eve) giving birth to the Santal people.<br />
<br />
The legends of the Santals and the pictures drawn by their painters almost details. However, the pats only often the outlines of the story. [Yas Vanu Begum]<br />
