Phad painting is thought to have started in Shahpura in the 14th century when it was only practiced by members of the Chhipa caste. This was also the time when the local folk stories, or veergatha, recorded by these scrolls first appeared. Kalyan Josi's King on Horse Ride is a traditional Phad painting created on paper with natural paints. It shows the local king riding on a horse while his attendant fanned him from behind. Flora and fauna are clearly shown utilizing traditional patterns and colors. This picture, with its deep-rotted symbology, is a one-of-a-kind complement to any home decor that seeks a traditional aesthetic.
