The Painting

The artwork made by Dinesh Soni depicts Lord Shrinathji as the Vishwarupa. The term Vishnu Vishwaroop refers to the cosmic or universal form of Lord Vishnu, who is considered one of the principal deities in Hinduism. In Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu is believed to be the preserver and protector of the universe. He is often depicted as having a human-like form with four arms, holding various weapons and symbols that represent his divine attributes. The artist has depicted him in a grand and elaborate composition where Lord Shrinathji is painted in his cosmic form. The Vishnu Vishwaroop is revered and worshipped by devotees as a representation of the divine and infinite nature of Lord Vishnu. This intricate artwork was made using natural stone colors on cotton cloth.

The Artform

"Pichwai Art originated during the 17th century in the Nathdwara temple of Rajasthan, situated in the town within the Udaipur district. The art form is dedicated to adorning the shrine of Lord Shrinath at Nathdwara. The term ""Pichwai"" finds its roots in the Sanskrit words ""pich"" (meaning ""behind"") and ""wai"" (meaning ""hanging""). It refers to the intricately designed cloth that serves as the backdrop for the revered idol of Shrinathji within the shrine. With a tradition spanning over four centuries, Pichwai art predominantly revolves around portraying the enchanting tales of Shrinathji, the divine child incarnation of Lord Krishna, and his diverse manifestations. The artistic representations vividly capture Shrinathji's iconography, often intertwined with other significant figures like Radha, Gopis, cows, lotuses, and peacocks. Through meticulous craftsmanship, this art form aims to convey a comprehensive portrayal of the divine image of Shrinathji, evoking a sense of holistic reverence. "
