Several people visited her house at Ambapua on the outskirts here to witness the paintings.
The beshas she has drawn are Abakash, Bankachuda, Nagarjuna, Chacheri, Gajanana, Bali Vamana, Padma, Suna Besha, Tribikram, Giri Govardhan, Nabajoubana, Nabank, Laxmi Nursingh, Chandan Lagi, Kalia Dalana and Raja Rajeswari.
"The beshas reflect various aspects of the Lord's divinity and mythology. As the beshas are very popular among the devotees, I wanted to draw some of them," said Panda.
"Earlier, I had drawn the 10 incarnations of the Lord by using materials like sand and pebbles, coins, and also a pattachitra," she said.
