Hanuman Chalisa
CertifiedOnly 1 left

Folk Art

Hanuman Chalisa

This miniature Hanuman Chalisa represents a significant technical achievement, as the artist pioneered this small-scale format in 2012. Measuring just slightly over 10 x 12 inches, the painting manages to house the entire text of the three dohas and forty chaupais alongside their corresponding narrative scenes. The artist notes that a work of this complexity at such a small scale is unprecedented in the field. The composition employs a selective color strategy, where blue and orange are used to draw the viewer's focus specifically toward the figures of Lord Ram and Hanuman. To maintain this emphasis, all other elements are kept muted and rendered primarily through intricate black outlines. Because of the extreme precision required for this scale, particularly in the written script and detailed scenes, a magnifying glass is recommended to fully appreciate the minute brushwork.

Summer

This painting is a representation of a summer’s day spent at the royal court. This artwork is a marked departure from the erstwhile religious themes seen in Phad paintings before and is a secular depiction of royalty enjoying a summer’s day. Idyllic representations of the King and Queen playing chaupar together, enjoying a boat ride in the evening, and a hunting scene are described here among various other scenes.

Krishna Raas Leela

This artwork features the celestial Raas Leela performed on the night of Sharad Purnima, reimagined from the traditional Pichwai style into the Phad folk tradition. The painting is executed with a sophisticated gold and black outline, moving away from the large, simple designs typical of folk art to introduce a ""fine art"" level of intricate detail. The artist has focused heavily on minute details, particularly in the costumes of the figures, to elevate the traditional craft. The composition is unique for its double-round formation, showing Lord Krishna dancing with the Gopis in two concentric circles rather than the standard single ring. At the center, Radha and Krishna are depicted playing the flute amidst a setting that includes the Yamuna River, lotuses, and fish. The background is densely filled with stars and divine observers in the sky, ensuring every part of the canvas is rich with artistic detail.

Traditional pabuji ki phad 3

Created in 2004, this National Merit Award-winning Phad painting offers an expansive visual narrative of the life and legends of the folk deity Pabu ji Rathore. The composition meticulously follows the traditional storytelling structure used by Bhopa and Bhopi oral narrators, opening with auspicious invocations of Lord Ganesha, the Dashavatara, and other sacred scripts. The artwork captures the quest for his famous mare, Kesar Kalmi, and his subsequent meeting with the deity Goga ji. A central theme involves Pabu ji fulfilling a promise made at his niece Kelam's wedding to provide camels as a gift. Much like Lord Rama sent Hanuman to find Sita, Pabu ji dispatches his trusted aide, Harmal, to Lankeya (in modern-day Pakistan) to locate the animals. The painting illustrates the strategic mission to retrieve the camels, the romantic union with Princess Phulwanti in Soda, and the ultimate sacrifice where Pabu ji achieves martyrdom while defending a Charani woman’s cows.

Traditional pabuji ki phad 2

This artwork presents the traditional epic of Pabu ji Rathore in a distinctively antique-finished style. While Phad paintings are typically horizontal, the artist has adapted this extensive narrative into a vertical format, meticulously aged to appear over a century old despite being a contemporary creation. The composition begins with divine invocations of Ganesha, Saraswati, and the Dashavatara, followed by scenes depicting Pabu ji's birth and his regal court. The narrative detail is comprehensive, illustrating Pabu ji's wedding and his legendary conflict with Ravana of Lanka. A key sequence depicts the antagonist Khichi stealing camels, prompting Pabu ji to go to war to reclaim them. The visual story culminates in the fierce battle where Pabu ji achieves martyrdom (Veergati). Unlike the artist's other works that use a fresh color scheme, this piece is defined by its weathered, historic aesthetic.
