While the songs for patachitra are usually solo renditions, there are times when a group of patuas get together to sing a song on a patachitra painted by one of them - as a performance. These choruses are referred to as "Poyar" - in no way related to the 14 beat metre of the same name. This performance of the legend of Satya Pir (Shotto Pir) is sung by Monimala Chitrakar, Baharjan Chitrakar (front row , centre and right), Malek Chitrakar and Probir Chitrakar behind them and led by Rani Chitrakar.
