The phad used to be very large with the paintings of Pabuji being 13 arm-lengths long and Devnarayanjis being 30 feet long. They were painted using hand-woven coarse cotton cloth, which would be soaked overnight to thicken the threads. It was then starched with rice or wheat flour and then dried. The surface would be rubbed with moonstone for smoothening. The processing and painting both use only natural goods (...)" (https://mapacademy.io/article/pabuji-ki-phad/).
