Naya, in Pingla block, is known across India for Patachitra, the painted scrolls and the songs that go with them. Visitors travel there to meet the artists. Buyers far away cannot. A simple website and a quick first reply can put the artist in front of them, without turning the craft into a factory.
What buyers actually need
A buyer who finds a scroll or a painting online wants a few things: a clear picture, the size, the price range, how long a commission takes, how it will be sent and how to talk to the artist. They also want to know that a real person made it.
A website that tells the real story
A good page shows the work, the artist and the story behind a piece, in the artist's own words if possible. It lists sizes and prices or ranges. It explains how to commission a piece. We build this as a simple business website or an online catalogue.
Where automation helps and where it should stop
Automation should handle the repeated first questions, never the conversation that matters. When a buyer messages, an automatic reply can share size options, a price range, delivery times and what you need to know for a custom piece. Then it hands over. The artist speaks to the buyer who is serious. WhatsApp automation does this on the channel buyers already use.
Visitors to Naya and the railway link
Balichak is the railway station nearest to Naya. Visitors who arrive by train often need simple practical answers: how to reach, when artists are available, what to see. A short page and an automatic reply on the same WhatsApp number can answer those. Our local pages cover Pingla and Balichak.
