Welcome to the World of Phad Painting!

Hello there, art enthusiasts and future creators! I'm Nabojit Kar, your course instructor and a passionate advocate for folk arts. With over 5 years of experience in teaching and a treasure trove of national-level awards in my artistic journey, I am excited to guide you through the intricate world of Phad Rajasthani Painting.

What is Phad Painting? 🌟

Phad is an age-old art form from Rajasthan that dates back more than 700 years. This unique Indian folk art originated in the Shahpura/Bhilwara region and is a blend of storytelling, artistry, and cultural heritage. The stories depicted in Phad paintings narrate the tales of local deities like Devnarayan and Pabuji, as well as warriors, rulers, and characters from epic tales such as Mahabharata and Ramayana.

Learn from Scratch: A Comprehensive Journey 🖼️

• Understanding the Basics: We'll start by exploring the history, significance, and the mythological background of Phad paintings.
• Material Mastery: You'll learn about the natural materials used in traditional Phad paintings – from the cotton cloth to the pigments derived from stones, flowers, plants, and herbs.
• Storytelling Through Art: We'll delve into how these vibrant paintings were used as a narrative tool by Bhopas (priest-singers) in rural Rajasthan.

Hands-On Experience with Real Projects 🌈

Cultural Legacy and Modern Day Practice 🏛️

Traditionally, only members of the Joshi family were skilled in creating Phad paintings. However, forward-thinking artisans like Kalyani Joshi have broken these barriers, paving the way for a broader community of artists to learn and practice this sacred craft.
