Collection: Pichwai décor plates

The word Pichwai comes from 'pichh' meaning back, and 'wai', meaning textile hanging. Pichwais are paintings that were initially meant to be hung behind the shrine of Lord Krishna. Pichwai ( or Pichvai ) originated over 400 years ago, in small town called Nathdwara, near Udaipur in Rajasthan, India. 

Shrinathji is depicted as an incarnation of Lord Krishna who is as a seven-year-old boy & usually the main subject of the paintings.  He is worshipped by the Vaishnava sect called the Pushtimarg from Nathdwara

This art form like many others have resurfaced & being revived on account of efforts made by many design houses. We started depicting Pichwais on smaller canvases way back in 2016 on décor plates. Since then our plates have gained popularity and in turn provided employment opportunities for many other artists who emulated this format. We have kept quality of design and compositions the focus always and we take in pride in the quality of the art work we deliver consistently &  the fact that our artists have only gotten better with time.
