Phad 1 - Kalyan Joshi

Phad painting is a centuries-old folk art form from Rajasthan, India, traditionally used to depict religious stories on long scrolls of cloth or canvas. These scrolls, known as Phads, narrate the tales of folk deities and serve as mobile temples carried by Bhopas—priest-singers who bring these stories to life.

Notable examples include Devnarayan Ki Phad and Pabuji Ki Phad, with traditional Phads spanning up to 30 feet in length. Historically, these paintings were crafted using vegetable colors, preserving the authenticity of this unique art form.

This particular artwork is a remarkable representation of Phad tradition, blending intricate storytelling with striking visuals.
