What is Pichwai Art?
Pichwai Art originated in Nathdwara, Rajasthan. If we break down the word Pichwai i,e., Pich + Wai - in Sanskrit "Pich" means- back and “Wai” means hanging. So, Pichwai means something which hangs in the back.
That time Rajasthani people used to hang the painting in temple behind Shrinath ji ( Lord Krishna). And on the painting you will see images related to his young age especially. Different elements like- lotus, cow, temple gate, peacock mostly used in this Pichwai Painting Wallpaper and also Pichwai Art Wallpaper is totally made from natural materials to create the colors and patterns.
In the old era it was also a way to express love to Krishna. Pichwai art has reflection of Pushtimarg- the path of grace that shows you surrender to Krishna with all your heart. With time art keeps evolving. Now, its not just used in temple but also in different areas like home, gallery. Even if it is evolving the main essences of art are still intact.
And our traditional Pichwai Wallpaper is so meaningful with its history. So, Pichwai Art Wallpapers is now not just for temples anymore! Pichwai traditional art has got some makeover-a modern touch to everything. Bring the energy of Lord Krishna right into your home.
