Pichwai' is derived from two words- 'Pich' meaning back, and 'wai' meaning hanging. Pichwais are a traditional Indian art form, having originated in Nathdwara, a small town in the Northern part of India. Bright and intense colours like yellow, green, black, and red dominate Pichwai.

From dancing to eating, cow-herding to flute-playing, they essentially depict Lord Krishna in various ‘leelas’ or ‘at play’ with the moon, lotus blooms, peacocks, parrots or cows; and are set in the lush vegetation the artists find in their surroundings.
