About the Artwork +

Dinesh Soni handpaints this Pichwai painting of the Peepal tree with cows surrounding it. The Ashwatha tree is said to be the tree beneath which Krishna dies. It is believed that Krishna will reside in a peepal leaf after the destruction of this world. The hallowed tree is seen in the vicinity of most temples and worshipped regularly. The cows represent our five senses that keep running away for greener pastures and can only be controlled by surrendering and offering our loving devotional service to Lord Krishna.

Art Form

Pichwai-art

The art of Pichwai originated over 400 years ago, illustrating tales of Shrinathji, an incarnation of Krishna, the deity manifest as a seven-year-old child. Prominent in th Nathadwara region of Rajasthan especially in the Vaishnavite sect, the paintings are hand-painted on cloth or paper and depict different scenes and stills - lotuses, Radha, Gopis and cows are also frequent subjects. What started as a religious practice, is an art today and finds place in the form of paintings and wall hangings in homes of many art connoisseurs.
