Phad painting is a popular style of folk painting from Rajasthan. This 700-year-old art form finds its origins in Shahpura, near Bhilwara, and is believed to have been passed down over generations within a single family. Bhopas or priest-singers used to carry large phad paintings along with them and use them as mobile temples or backdrops for an evening of magic and entertainment, usually in the centre of a village.
