#ScrollOfStories - Introduction To Phad Painting 

Online Workshop by Kalyan Joshi

Radio Partner: Radio City 

Phad (literally “fold”) is a style of religious scroll painting and folk painting in Rajasthan. This style of painting is traditionally done on a long piece of cloth or canvas, known as phad. The paintings depict stories of the folk deities of Rajasthan, mostly of Pabuji and Devnarayan, and the stories are narrated by Bhopas, traditional priest-singers. This 700-year-old legacy of painting has been passed down through generations of a single family - the Joshis of Bhilwara. At our online workshop #ScrollOfStories, Phad painter Kalyan Joshi will guide you on creating the basic drawings for a Phad scroll and share images of other artworks you can practice in your own time.
