Kavad art is an extraordinary art of storytelling, that originated about 500 years ago. The art of Kavad comes from the village of Bassi in Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan. Kavad is a portable wooden shrine painted with stories from the Mahabharata and Ramayana, and folklore that the artisans would carry from village to village and narrate to the villagers. Kavads are made out of mango or Sheesham wood, by a community of Suthars, or carpenters in Mewar, and the storytellers called Kaavadiyas from different places in Rajasthan bring them to their patron’s houses, in a way bringing portable temples to the devotee. The Kaavdiyas consider themselves to be descendants of Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect of the universe and supreme God of the Arts.
In this Kavad, a story of lion and the hare from Panchatantra is depicted, with the moral ‘Wisdom can win might’.
