This handpainted original work of phad painting is done on handmade paper base with natural pigment colours. A 700-year-old legacy passed down over generations within a single family, Phad finds its origins in Shahpura, near Bhilwara, Rajasthan. Phad is a type of scroll painting that narrates elaborate religious stories of local deities and gods. Created as travelling or mobile temples, these traditional paintings were carried by priest-singers of the Rabari tribe, called Bhopas and Bhopis, who would sing and perform stories of their local deities. The story was always of Devnarayan or Pabuji, both folk deities. The Phad painting would be unrolled, or unfolded after sunset, and the performance in front of village members, would last into the night. This is perhaps why the paintings are called Phad, which means fold in the local dialect. This Indian tribal art comes from Bhilwara from the family of Kalyan Joshi. A wonderful painting for the discerning decor aficionado or a gift for an art lover. These are priceless collectibles. We can provide framing services as well at an additional cost. The cost for framing depends upon the quality of framing (with or without mount), width, lenght and quality of moulding etc. We recommend acrylic framing over the glass option, if you need to cover the painting.
