The term ‘Pichwai’ refers to intricate paintings originally 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\u003eThe center of the composition portrays the image of Lord Shrinathji. He is rendered in a sampada position. He is depicted gesturing with his left hand raised, holding Mount Govardhana, symbolic of saving the lives of his Brajwasi. The other hand holds a flute (murali) and a stem of a lotus bud (kamalchadi). He is shown dark-complexioned and is oval-shaped, with lotus-shaped eyes (kamalnayan), a slender nose (adorned with a pearl nath), and protruding lips with a diamond on his chin. His forehead is adorned with the Vaishnava tilak of Chandan and Roli. His head is adorned with a heavily embellished crown and a peacock feather (mormukuta) at its top.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe is embellished with an abundance of jewellery: strings of pearls, emeralds, rubies, and gold, along with earrings, armbands, wristbands, anklets, toe rings, rings, palm ornaments, and more. Around his neck, he is attired in a set of garlands of lotuses and other flowers. He is attired in a saffron coloured garment with a yellow-embellished border and motifs occupy the fabric. He is positioned on a low pedestal and a prasaddibbi, paan and a jaldaani are kept for use during his sewa. The lower end of the frame is adorned with enlarged circular-shaped pillows and bordered with golden, square-shaped geometric patterns with stones embedded in between. At the top of the frame, at the extreme ends, a pair of embellished lamps (diya) are rendered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting of Shrinathji is set against a solid red colour background, with lotus petals and buds, resembling a lotus pond (Kamal Talai). The lotuses in the Pichwai are considered an auspicious motif and symbolise good fortune, purity, prosperity, and fertility. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dinesh Soni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588281467094,"sku":null,"price":10000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Grace_of_Lord_Shrinathji_in_Pichwai_Plates_by_Dinesh_Soni.jpg?v=1791794863","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/grace-of-lord-shrinathji-in-pichwai-plates-by-dinesh-soni","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
