Ratikanta's artworks are rendered in the classical Pattachitra style, painted on tussar silk and traditional prepared cloth canvas using natural pigments and fine, disciplined linework. Recurring subjects include the sacred trinity of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra; the divine pair Radha and Krishna in tender, ornamental compositions; and vivid depictions of Ganesha, often shown dancing or seated with his consorts Riddhi and Siddhi amid intricate borders and floral motifs. Each painting balances devotional symbolism with decorative detail — flowing drapery, expressive eyes, and dense patterning typical of Odisha's temple art. The result is work that feels both ceremonial and intimate, rooted in centuries of sacred storytelling.
