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.
