In Phad painting, the Ramayana is not contained within a single scene. Its world unfolds across the surface, bringing together encounters, journeys, battles, and moments of devotion within one continuous visual narrative.
Rather than separating each episode, the painting allows them to exist together, inviting the viewer to move through the story and discover its many layers. The familiar becomes expansive, as characters and events are brought into a shared visual space shaped by the traditions of storytelling and memory.
At Fabric of the Faith, this Phad painting joins Pichwai, Pachedi, and Pat in exploring how Indian artistic traditions have carried sacred stories across generations.
On view at Archer Art Gallery until 14th August 2026.
