Description
A single line of white cows processes across a deep indigo backdrop, their gold jewellery catching the light — a scene straight out of Pichwai painting, the devotional art form born in the temple town of Nathdwara, Rajasthan, to depict the many moods of Krishna. This narrow tray takes its cue from "Govardhan Priya," the cows Krishna herded and cared for as a child in Vrindavan, a recurring and beloved motif across Pichwai's centuries-old repertoire.
Pichwai paintings were traditionally hung behind temple deities as backdrops during festivals, rich with gold detailing and repeating, rhythmic compositions — a visual language this tray borrows directly, with the cows repeated in procession rather than shown as a single figure. Built on medium-density engineered wood and sealed for heat and water resistance, it's designed for actual daily use, not just display.
It holds about four coffee mugs comfortably, making it equally suited to serving tea and snacks or simply sitting on a centre table as a decorative object in its own right. A distinctive housewarming, wedding, or festival gift for anyone who wants their everyday objects to carry some cultural weight.
Material: Medium Density Engineered Wood, decoupaged and sealed
Dimensions: 39 cm x 12 cm x 4 cm
Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth; heat and water resistant.
