Pabuji Ki Phad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pabuji Ki Phad is the traditional story-telling art of Rajasthan, India. Literally, it translates to two possible phrases, The Screen Of Pabuji or O, Read Of Pabuji!

The Phad is a 30 feet long sheet on which are painted (or sewn) miniature scenes depicting the life of Pabuji, a 14th century hero, on which his adventures are depicted. The singer has a stick with which he points out each scene and narrates the story. The light is provided by his wife who holds a lantern alongside him. The Bhopas are the community that carry this tradition, and are invited by villagers to perform in their areas during times of sickness and misfortune. The ballad is sung by the Bhopa as he plays the Ravan-hattha.

Indian superstar Amitabh Bachchan has the distinction of having a phad created on his life.
