Indian religious Pichwai painting
$200.00
Vintage religious Pichwai painting from 1960s, exquisitely painted on fine silk fabric.
This is a style of devotional painting that originated in Rajasthan over 400 years ago. These intricate and visually stunning paintings, made on cloth, depict tales from Lord Krishna's life. Creating a pichwai can take several weeks to months, and requires immense skill.
The word Pichwai, literally translates to 'that which hangs at the back', and refers to a unique form of devotional pictorial textiles made specifically for hanging in a Pushti Marg (path of grace) shrine devoted to Krishna.
