Pichwai Painting – Lord Krishna Atop a Lotus Painting – Cloth

Krishna means “the all-attractive one,” symbolizing divine beauty and consciousness.
Lotus represents purity, detachment, and spiritual awakening, rising unstained from water.
Pichwai derives from “pichh” (behind) and “wai” (hanging), referring to temple backdrops used in Nathdwara worship.

Best placed on a central wall in a living or prayer room, where its aged detailing and devotional aura can be fully appreciated. The effect on an existing home aesthetic is an air of antiquity and sacred elegance, anchoring the space in heritage. Muted creams, soft golds, or earthy backdrops enhance its vintage tones. A statement piece that embodies devotion, artistry, and timeless Indian tradition.

To protect the delicate pigments of this antique Pichwai, keep it away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Dust lightly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain clarity without disturbing the surface. Avoid all exposure to moisture, humidity, or cleaning agents, as these can damage both the paint and the fabric. For long-term preservation, framing under glass is highly recommended to safeguard its heritage detailing.
