Indian Mixed Media Folk Art

This is an Indian folk art called Pichwai. It originated around 400 years ago in the town of Nathdwara near Udaipur in Rajasthan, India. Intricate and visually stunning, Pichwai paintings, depict tales from Lord Krishna's life.

It portrays the glory of Lord Krishna in the form of Srinath Ji. Though originally these paintings were primarily made on cloth, I have made this painting on pastel paper. These paintings personify Krishna and Krishna is shown in different moods, body postures, and attire along with lotus and holy cow. These paintings are used as the backdrop of the Srinathji idol in his Shrine in Nathdwara.
