Pichwai
Painted behind the deity

Pichwai

Pichwai hangs behind the idol at Nathdwara and changes with the season: lotuses in the monsoon, cows at dusk, a full moon in autumn. It is painting made to be a backdrop, never the subject.

Worn, it stops being a backdrop. The lotus sits on the pallu and the cow walks along a hem.
