These paintings have the task of representing a complex folk epic narrative, which they achieve through their very specific style of representation. These paintings form a visual backdrop to all-night storytelling performances by wandering minstrels. All phad paintings, no matter what hero they depict, have certain similarities. The canvas is crowded with figures and the pictorial depiction is flat. The figures are arranged in such a way that the minor characters never overlap the main characters, whereas the size of the figures depends on their social status and the importance of the roles they play in the story. The figures in the painting do not face the audience but rather face each other, whereas the only frontal views are those of Gods and Goddesses.\u003cbr\u003eThe artist makes his own pigments using locally available plants and minerals and mixing them with gum and water.
