Pichwai Paintings

Pichhavai from the Temple of Nathdvara, Rajasthan. Krishana with gopis.

Pichwai paintings are typically large-scale works of art that depict the life and legends of Lord Krishna, particularly his childhood and early adult life. Pichwai art is still practiced today by a small number of artists and artisans, particularly in the town of Nathdwara, Rajasthan. Many of these artists come from families with a long tradition of creating Pichwai paintings and have been trained in the art form from a young age.
