Pichwai paintings originated in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, and were traditionally created as backdrops for the idol of Shreenathji in temples. The term “Pichwai” comes from Sanskrit, meaning “that which hangs at the back.” Each painting narrates episodes from Lord Krishna’s life, his divine leelas , and the festivals associated with him.
