From Canvas To Color: The Art Of Pichwai Paintings
The Traditional Pichwai Paintings Originated In The Town Of
Nathdwara Near Udaipur In Rajasthan Several Centuries Ago. The Word Pichwai,
Pronounced As Pichhwai Is A Combination Of Two Sanskrit Words, “Pichh” Meaning
Back And “Wais” Hanging, Thus, It Refers To “That Which Hangs From The Back”.
Pichwai Paintings Are Distinctive In Their Iconography As They Are Large
Devotional Art Forms. These Are Painted On Cloth And Portray The Transcendental
Form And Pastimes Of Lord Krishna. Pichwai Paintings Can Be Mostly Seen Hung In
The Temples Of Vallabha Sampradaya Which Is Prominent In The State Of
Rajasthan. The Revered Shrinathji Temple In Nathdwara Is Especially Famous For
The Beautiful Deity Of Lord Krishna As Shrinathji And The Beautiful Pichwai
Paintings Hung On The Back Wall Of The Deity. Other Common Themes In These
Paintings Are Srimati Radharani, Gopis And Cows Of Vrindavan, Diwali,
Gopashtami, Nanda Mahotsav, Govardhan Puja, Etc. Now, Pichwai Paintings Have
Made Their Way Into The Homes Of People Because Of Their Extremely Aesthetic
Appeal. Paichwais Made In The Modern Days Also Depict Other Forms Of Lord
Krishna Such As Dwarkadish (The King Of Dwarka). The Pichwais In The Back Wall
Of The Inner Sanctum In The Vallabha Sampradaya Temples Are Changed Daily
According To The Ritual, Festival, And Season.
The Process Of Making The World-Famous Pichwai Paintings Is Quite Elaborate And
Requires Excellent Skills As A Lot Of Detailed Work Is There. The Intricate
Detailing Captures The Attention Of The Observer And Because The Local Artists
Of Rajasthan Have Expertise In Making These Paintings, They Are Beautiful To
Look At.

The Traditional Pichwais Are Painted On A Hand-Spun Cotton Cloth But In Current Times It Is Created On A Large Canvas. The First Step Of Making A Pichwai Painting Is To Draw A Rough Sketch Of The Main Figure And Secondary Motifs And Patterns As The Background On The Starched Cotton Cloth. Generally, Shrinathji Or Other Forms Of Lord Krishna Are Shown In The Verdant Landscape Of Vrindavan Surrounded By Beautiful Ponds, Trees, Flowers, River, And Cows.
