Pichwai is a detailed art form of traditional Indian hand painting originating over 400 years ago in the town of Nathdwara in Rajasthan, India. It depicts Lord Krishna's divine persona using vibrant colours, intricate designs, and careful brushwork. These handcrafted artworks are found in temples and homes, retelling Krishna's stories. Artists portray his playful childhood and serene moments with cows and Gopis. This art celebrates spirituality, craftsmanship, and devotion. It may take a talented artist up to several months to paint a detailed Pichwai.
