“Phad” (फड़) translates to “fold” or “scroll”.

This exquisite Phad painting unfolds the legendary 12th-century love story of Maharaja Prithviraj Chauhan and Sanyukta, depicted in rich handmade mineral colors on cloth. Defying kingdoms and tradition, Prithviraj boldly claimed his beloved from her swayamvara, etching their tale into history as an enduring symbol of love and valor.

(‘Svayaṃvara’ is a matrimonial tradition in ancient Indian society where a bride, usually from Kṣatriya (warrior) caste, selects her husband from a group of assembled suitors either by her own choice or a public contest between her suitors.)

This 700-year-old Rajasthani art form, once used by bards to narrate epic tales, is distinguished by bold colors, intricate storytelling, and continuous narration, making it a true masterpiece of heritage and craftsmanship.
