About the Item

Vintage Pichhavai Painting of Krishna and Gopis, Gouache & Gold on Cloth, Rajasthan Vibrant Indian miniature painting in the Pichhavai style depicting Krishna’s Raas Leela with Radha and the Gopis in a lush forest setting. Hand-painted in gouache and gold on cloth with intricate floral borders. A striking devotional piece from Jaipur, Rajasthan, mid-20th century. The image shows a vibrant Radha Krishna painting, a style of Indian art that depicts the divine love story between Lord Krishna and his chief consort Radha. These paintings symbolize eternal love, devotion, and the union of the soul with the divine. Radha and Krishna, revered in Hindu mythology, represent the profound spiritual connection between the individual soul (Radha) and the Supreme Consciousness (Krishna).

Krishna, with his characteristic blue skin, is shown with a peacock feather in his hair and his flute in hand. Radha, often adorned with traditional jewelry and clothing, is portrayed with a light complexion and emphasized features. This type of artwork holds deep spiritual significance and is believed to foster harmony, love, and spiritual growth in homes where they are displayed.
