'''Phad painting''' or '''phad''' ({{IPAc-en|p|ʌ|d}}; [[IAST]]: ''Phad'', {{Lang-hi|फड़}}) is a style religious [[Handscroll|scroll painting]] and [[folk painting]], practiced in [[Rajasthan]] state of [[India]].<ref name="Chillibreeze">{{cite book|author=Chillibreeze|title=Indian Murals and Paintings|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FbVe7pZ6GEIC&pg=PT14|publisher=Chillibreeze|isbn=978-81-904055-1-5|pages=14–}}</ref><ref name="Kumar2007">{{cite book|author=Rakesh Kumar|title=Encyclopaedia of Indian paintings|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YIlHAQAAIAAJ|date= 2007|publisher=Anmol Publications|page=83|isbn=978-81-261-3122-8}}</ref> This style of painting is traditionally done on a long piece of cloth or canvas, known as ''{{Not a typo|phad}}''. The narratives of the folk deities of Rajasthan, mostly of [[Pabuji]] and [[Devnarayan]] are depicted on the ''{{Not a typo|''phads''}}s''. The [[Bhopa]]s, the priest-singers traditionally carry the painted ''{{Not a typo|phad}}s'' along with them and use these as the mobile temples of the folk deities, who are worshipped by the Rebari community of the region. The ''{{Not a typo|phad}}s'' of Pabuji are normally about {{Convert|15|ft|m}} in length, while the ''{{Not a typo|phad}}s'' of Devnarayan are normally about 30 feet long. Traditionally the ''{{Not a typo|phad}}s'' are painted with vegetable colors.<br />
<br />
Traditional examples of this art are [[Devnarayan Ki Phad]] and [[Pabuji Ki Phad]].<ref name=Dalrymple>{{Cite book|last= Dalrymple|first=William|title=Nine Lives|work=The Singers of Epics|pages=96–97|access-date=2010-06-13|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=yA1YPgAACAAJ&q=Nine+Lives+William+Dalrymple|publisher= Bloomsbury Publishing Plc|year= 2009|isbn= 978-1-4088-0153-6}}</ref><ref name=Bhopas>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thenational.ae/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091003/TRAVEL/710029903/1258/magazine2|title= The bhopas of Rajasthan|access-date=2010-06-13<br />
