Title

DOCUMENTATION AND REVIVAL OF PICHWAI PAINTING

Abstract

Nathadwara is the present headquarters of the Pushti Margiya Vaishnavite cult. Nathdwara Painting refers to a painting tradition and school of artists that emerged in Nathdwara, a town in Rajsamand district in the Western state of Rajasthan in India. The word Pichwai is derived from the Sanskrit words pich meaning back and wais meaning hanging. The word Pichwai stands for hanging at the back. Pichwai paintings are big-sized paintings prepared on cotton cloth using natural colours and are hung behind the idol of Lord ShrinathJi to depict his leelas. The purpose of Pichwai, other than artistic appeal, is to narrate tales of Krishna to the illiterate. They are the devotional pictures used to portray the stories of Lord Krishna. This study attempts to document the traditional Pichwai painting in detail in terms of its origin, technique, motifs, designs, colours, themes and work towards the revival of the painting through product development. Secondary data was obtained through various books, articles, calico textile museum, some private collection, by visiting different vaishanv temple, museum and vidhya vibhag library of mandir mandal Nathdwara. Primary data for the study was collected through purposively selected sample practicing the Pichwai paintings. This paper also collates the changes in the Pichwai paintings in terms of making process, designs and colors used.
