The story behind the art:
This visually stunning art is about 400 years old, and captures elements from the life and times of Shrinath ji, the child avatar of Krishna. Pichwai paintings are named such because they are used to adorn the walls of temples behind the idol. This style of painting traces its origin from Nathdwara, with its unique and easily identifiable features of large, semi closed eyes, a broad nose and a heavy body, and a pleasant, divine expression, similar to that of the residing deity of the temple, Shrinathji. Each painting tells the story particular to a season or festival, and the colours used add to the brilliance and beauty of the celebration.
