Pichwai Elements Workshop with Tracey Atkinson (SOLD OUT)
About
PICHWAI ELEMENTS WORKSHOPPichwai art is a 400-year-old traditional style of intricate devotional painting originating near Udaipur in Rajasthan, India.
Traditionally painted on cloth, the artworks serve as hanging backdrops for the idol Shrinathji (Lord Krishna) in temples. Pichwai comes from the Sanskrit words pichh (back) and wai (hanging).
Common elements of Pichwai art include sacred cows, blooming lotuses, and peacocks.
