Cow Pichwai Painting: Hand-Painted Traditional Indian Art on Cloth

Cow represents nourishment, compassion, and spiritual abundance in Indian tradition.
Pichwai derives from “pichh” (behind) and “wai” (hanging), referring to devotional paintings displayed behind temple icons.

Ideally placed in a puja room, meditation corner, or as a focal point in a living space, where its devotional charm can radiate serenity. What colours would work well with the piece are soft creams, muted golds, and deep maroons to accentuate its sacred detail. It enhances interiors with a balance of spiritual grace and artistic refinement. A subtle yet timeless tribute to Indian tradition.

To preserve the beauty of this hand-painted Pichwai on cloth, avoid direct sunlight to protect the natural pigments from fading. Dust lightly with a soft, dry cloth, and keep away from water, sprays, or cleaning agents. Prevent exposure to dampness or humidity to maintain the integrity of the fabric. For long-lasting preservation and display, it is best framed under glass.
