Pichwai Painting– Lord Shrinathji Painting

Shrinathji combines “Shri” (divine, revered) and “Nath” (lord), referring to Lord Krishna as worshipped at Nathdwara, symbolizing guardianship and grace.
Pichwai derives from “pichh” (behind) and “wai” (hanging), describing cloth paintings placed behind the idol to visually narrate devotion, ritual, and sacred stories.

Best placed in a prayer alcove, meditation space, or central wall where its sacred imagery can be viewed with reverence. The effect on an existing home aesthetic is a blend of serenity and grandeur, bringing devotional depth into the setting. Muted creams, rich maroons, or soft golds create the ideal backdrop to highlight its hand-painted detail. A statement piece that embodies faith, artistry, and timeless Indian tradition.

To maintain the beauty of this Shrinathji Pichwai, keep it away from direct sunlight to protect the natural pigments from fading. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding any moisture or cleaning agents that may damage the fabric and detailing. Ensure it is not exposed to humidity, which can weaken the base. For long-lasting preservation and display, framing under glass is recommended.
