A serene cream-coloured cow stands gracefully atop a large round green lotus leaf, her hooves and ankles tied with delicate red ribbons and her neck draped in a fine garland. The composition floats lightly on warm cream paper inside a clean red double-line border, every fold of the leaf and curl of the garland rendered by hand. A quietly arresting piece for a puja corner, an entryway, a hallway, or anywhere you want a single elegant focal point.
In the Pushtimarg tradition of Nathdwara, Rajasthan, the cow is sacred to Krishna in his Shrinathji form. The image of a single cow poised on a lotus leaf is a beloved Pichwai composition, evoking purity, devotion and the gentle pastoral world of Vrindavan. Painted by hand on paper using natural pigments and fine brushes, it carries forward a tradition that artisan families in Nathdwara have shaped over four centuries.
A meaningful gift for a wedding, a housewarming, or anyone drawn to Indian devotional art. Every purchase goes directly back to the Nathdwara artisans who keep this gentle craft alive.
