Hand Stiched Shrinathji Pichwai

In the art of Pichwai, god is in the details. While Shrinathji occupies the heart of the canvas — with garlands touching his feet and his left hand always in the air, lifting Mount Govardhan — the background and borders are rendered with equally compelling motifs. “‘Pich’means the backdrop: it was meant to be hung behind the idol at the temple. So, the original Pichwai is a cutout, in which there’s a window cut for the idol to fit in.
