Explanation:

It is a type of scroll painting mainly found in the Bhilwara district. The main themes of the phad paintings depict the deities and their legends and the stories of erstwhile Maharajas.Therefore, they depict the heroic deeds of a heroic figure, the daily life of a peasant, rural life,animals and birds, flora and fauna.These paintings are created using bright colours and subtle colours. The outlines of the paintings are first drawn in black and later filled with colours.Raw colours are used for these paintings. The unique features of phad paintings are the bold lines and a two-dimensional treatment of figures with the entire composition arranged in sections.
The art of painting the phads is approximately 700 years old. It is said that it was originated in Shahpura, some 35 kms from Bhilwara in Rajasthan.The continuous royal patronage gave a decisive impetus to the art which has survived and flourished for generations.
