Phad painting

[1][2] This style of painting is traditionally done on a long piece of cloth or canvas, known as phad.

The narratives of the folk deities of Rajasthan, mostly of Pabuji and Devnarayan are depicted on the phadss.

The Bhopas, the priest-singers traditionally carry the painted phads along with them and use these as the mobile temples of the folk deities, who are worshipped by the Rebari community of the region.

[3][4] This style was revolutionized by Shree Lal Joshi and Pradip Mukherjee about forty years ago.[when?]

[5] The art of Phad painting was traditionally practiced exclusively by the Joshi community.
