Phad 3 - Kalyan Joshi

Phad painting is a revered folk art form from Rajasthan, India, known for its intricate storytelling through long scroll paintings. These hand-painted scrolls, called Phads, depict the legends of folk deities such as Devnarayan and Pabuji, serving as mobile temples carried by Bhopas—the priest-singers who narrate their tales.

Phad paintings are traditionally crafted using vegetable colors on cloth or canvas, with the phads of Pabuji measuring around 15 feet and those of Devnarayan extending up to 30 feet. This intricate and vibrant art form has been preserved by generations of skilled artists.

This particular artwork is a fine representation of the Phad tradition, embodying its cultural and spiritual significance.
