It is no surprise that India has given birth to extremely talented and skilled artsmen over the past 5000 years. One such creation by the same is the birth of Pichwai paintings. These paintings were particularly made as a form of devotional reverence to Lord Krishna which were particularly made to hang in Hindu temples especially the Shrinathji temple in Nathdwara, Rajasthan.The purpose of Pichhwais is the portrayal and account of the tales (leelas) of Lord Krishna in the most visually pleasing and imaginative display to the masses. Often a Pichwai painting is a group effort, wherein various talented painters work synonymously under the supervision of a master artist. These miniature paintings uphold the form of great artistic and cultural significance. In the modern-day, these paintings are generally found in temples or are cherished by devotees and connoisseurs of art. Some famous themes may involve Shri Krishna as Shrinathji, depicting Ras Leela of Krishna and the Gopis, Radha – Krishna, as well as festivals such as Diwali, Holi, Janmashtami and Govardhan Pooja. Some sketches may also involve the illustration of cows and flowers.
