The term ‘Pichwai’ refers to intricate paintings executed on cloth, which are traditionally hung on the back walls of temples. These beautifully detailed textiles serve a sacred purpose, created to adorn the shrines of Lord Shrinathji, a seven-year-old manifestation of Lord Krishna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the right corner of the composition, the representation of the cow is delineated by the artist. In the Pichwai paintings, she is symbolic of the Mother of all cows and the fulfilment of all the wishes of her devotees. She is shown in motion, as one of her front legs is raised, suggesting her motion into the picture frame. The artist has painted her anatomical body with meticulous detail. The infusion of lines around her neck delineates her realistically. Her head, hump and legs are painted in orange and red hues and adorned with gold-ornamented hangings and bells on her horns and neck, respectively. There are renditions of handprints coloured in saffron, reflecting Krishna's presence and protection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn front of her, the lotus stem is delineated. The stem of the lotus is germinating from the bottom of the canvas, suggestive of nurturing and nourishment. The lotuses, the bud, the stem- all the botanical details are rendered with fine brushstrokes and coloured in pink and green hues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese representations are painted against a lattice pattern of zigzag or slanting line form, sequenced in small square boxes, complemented in two colours, i.e., black and white, alternatively. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naveen Soni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50530373992662,"sku":null,"price":9000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/Image1_2.png?v=1790243283","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/a-cow-and-a-lotus-bud-zigzag-geometric-lattice-background-in-pichwai-by-naveen-soni","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
