What is Pichwai Art?
Pichwai painting is a mesmerising art form with roots deep in the cultural heart of India. Traditionally created to honour Shrinathji, a revered form of Lord Krishna, these paintings carry ancient stories of love, devotion, and divine playfulness. This traditional art form originated from Nathdwara, Rajasthan, in the 17th century. The word "Pichwai" is derived from "Pich" (back) and "Wai" (hanging), referring to the large cloth paintings used as temple backdrops.
