Pichwai painting: Pichwai painting traces its origins back over 400 years to Nathdwara, near Udaipur in Rajasthan, India.

Pichwai paintings primarily depict various episodes from the life of Lord Krishna, showcasing scenes from his divine journey and mythological narratives.

"The Radiant Beauty of Lord Shreenathji ": This artwork beautifully depicts Shreenathji, a revered form of Lord Krishna, in the traditional Pichwai painting style of Nathdwara, Rajasthan. The divine figure is shown standing gracefully with his left hand raised, symbolizing the act of lifting Mount Govardhan to protect his devotees. The intricate ornamentation of pearls, gemstones, and floral motifs reflects the opulence and devotion associated with temple art. Shreenathji’s face, painted in deep blue, radiates divine calm and majesty. The pink lotus garland and blooming lotuses in his hands symbolize purity, spiritual awakening, and divine beauty. Two white elephants on either side enhance the aura of grandeur and signify reverence and service. The background is adorned with delicate patterns and golden borders, highlighting the richness of traditional craftsmanship. Every detail—from the jewelry to the textile designs—reveals meticulous precision and devotion of the artist.
