Phad painting is an ancient folk art form from Rajasthan, India, known for its religious themes and storytelling elements. These intricate paintings are traditionally done on long scrolls of cloth or canvas, called Phad, depicting the narratives of Rajasthan’s folk deities.
Notable examples include Devnarayan Ki Phad and Pabuji Ki Phad, which illustrate the legends of revered deities. The Bhopas—priest-singers—historically carried these painted scrolls as mobile temples, using them in storytelling performances. Phads of Pabuji typically span 15 feet, while those of Devnarayan can reach 30 feet in length. Traditionally, these paintings were crafted using vegetable-based colors.
This artwork is a fine representation of the Phad painting tradition, bringing Rajasthan’s rich artistic legacy to life.
