Phad Painting is a traditional form of Indian art that originates from the state of Rajasthan. This unique painting style is characterized by its large, scroll-like canvases made from cloth, which are hand-painted using natural colors. The themes often depict stories of local deities, particularly Pabuji, a folk hero, and are used in religious rituals and storytelling. The process of creating Phad Paintings involves several steps, including preparing the canvas, sketching the design, and applying vibrant colors made from minerals and plants. Artists, known as Chitrakar, often work in families, passing down techniques and stories through generations, ensuring the preservation of this cultural heritage.
