about craft
Traditional Kawad painting is a vibrant and unique art form from Rajasthan, India, associated with storytelling. These paintings adorn the Kawad, a portable wooden shrine with multiple panels that unfold to reveal intricate, colorful narratives. Artisans, known as Kawad makers, use natural pigments to depict mythological tales, religious stories, and local legends. The panels are designed to be opened one by one, guiding the viewer through the story sequentially. Kawad paintings are a fusion of artistic expression and cultural tradition, serving both as a visual delight and a medium for preserving and conveying the rich heritage of Rajasthani folklore and spirituality.
