Answer 2

The Government of India has issued a postal stamp featuring Shree Lal Joshi's famous painting, "the Phad of Shri Devnarayan". This tiny piece of art was issued in 1992 having the face value of 5 INR

Explanation:

• Shree Lal Joshi belongs to a family of Phad artists who once were the sole guardians of Phad art. The painting is an art synonymous with the vivid narrative, music and performance styles.
• Phad painting is Hindu scroll painting and folk art in the Indian state of Rajasthan. This art style is usually made in a long piece, called a phad.
• The revival of this colorful art is credited to Shree Lal Joshi. He founded Chitrashala, more than 50 years ago, a pioneering institute for training various Rajasthan styles and particularly for phads (Mewar style). So far, more than 2000 students and several researchers have qualified.
• Many are professionally employed. Chitrashala has produced numerous international and domestic artists who received prestigious awards.
• The phad of Shri devnaryan are cloth paintings that depict Devnarayan's legend, a Medieval hero revered as a folk-deity. They are traditionally used to complement a ritual wherein priests are singing or rehearsing the heroic deeds of Devnarayan.
