Description

In the temple town of Nathdwara, Rajasthan, artists have for generations painted grand cloth hangings called Pichwai to be hung behind the idol of Shrinathji — the seven-year-old form of Krishna worshipped there. Aradhana, meaning devotion or worship, takes its name and its imagery from that tradition, picturing Shrinathji surrounded by his beloved Gopis in a scene of quiet reverence.

Pichwai painting is built in layers: a cloth or panel base, natural pigments applied in fine detail, and motifs drawn from the temple's own visual vocabulary — lotuses chief among them, believed to be the Lord's favourite flower, framing the sides of this box in a border of devotion.

A square wooden box carrying this scene works equally well as a gifting piece for a housewarming, a festival exchange, or a spiritual milestone, and as a functional object — a home for jewellery, keys, cards or the small things that deserve a place of their own.

The original hand-painted Pichwai artwork is applied to the box through decoupage and sealed under a protective clear coat.

Material: Pichwai artwork on medium-density engineered wood, decoupage finish, clear-coat sealant

Dimensions: 7.5 inches x 7.5 inches x 3.5 inches
