The Celebration: PHAD PAINTING BY KRITIKA JOSHI
Even though the phad paintings were traditionally based on folk stories, the recent radical urbanisation has brought the other elements in the art. The painting depicts a dancer who has two oil lit lamps on her hands while she is balancing two pots on her head. She is possibly performing the bhawai dance. She is dancing on the beats of a dholki and another musical instrument. The entire painting is done using blue, gold and black.
Kritika Joshi, belongs to the illustrious Joshi family, who started Phad Painting Art 700 years ago. She is the 30th generation in her family after her father Kalyan Joshi who has carried forward this art and has been practicing this art for 12 years already. Creating new ways to take Phad art to the world is her dream.
