About the artwork

The beautiful, complex and intricate art of phad painting, believed to have begun 700 years ago, is still celebrated as a living tradition in south-west Rajasthan, especially in the Bhilwara district. The art is also found in parts of Punjab and Sindh. The artists, predominantly from the Joshi family of Bhilwara and Shahpura, believe the form has existed for a hundred thousand years. The paintings are not made for art’s sake, but to serve as ‘portable temples’ to the two deities of the Rebari .. Rebari tribe.
