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\u003eComposed in the circular form of a Pichwai plate, the image of Lord Shrinathji is enclosed within a rectangular frame, framing his idol. 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. Around his neck, he wears a heavy garland of closed lotus buds, and another set of garlands filled with distinct flower petals and leaves interspersed between. He is attired in a saffron coloured garment with a yellow-embellished border, and motifs occupied the fabric, while a blue coloured dupatta is draped across his arms. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe painting of Shrinathji is set against a solid red colour background, with floriated lotus petals and buds. The base of the plate is rendered with three consecutive lotus flowers symbolizing harmony and balance to the overall composition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dinesh Soni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588262658262,"sku":null,"price":10000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Lord_Shrinathji_and_the_Kamal_Talai_in_Pichwai_Plates_by_Dinesh_Soni.jpg?v=1791794698","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/lord-shrinathji-and-the-kamal-talai-in-pichwai-plates-by-dinesh-soni","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
