Lord Balaji

Lord Balaji

Size - H60 * W36 inches

Lord Balaji, also known as Lord Venkateswara, is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who appeared in the present age of Kali Yuga to offer salvation and uplift humanity. He is typically portrayed with a dark complexion and four hands, holding a discus and a conch shell in his upper hands as symbols of power and existence, while his lower hands are extended downward to encourage devotees to have faith and surrender to him for protection.

The image depicts priests worshipping Lord Balaji in a temple against a starry night backdrop. Known as one of the wealthiest gods due to the large offerings made at his temple, in this picture, the artist beautifully captures the opulent adornments of gold and precious stones that always grace Lord Balaji.

General Information

Pichwai (pichvai) is a style of painting that originated over 400 years ago, in the town of Nathdwara near Udaipur in Rajasthan, India. Intricate and visually stunning, pichwai paintings, made on cloth, depict tales from Lord Krishna's life. Creating a pichwai can take several months, and requires immense skill, as the smallest details need to be painted with precision. Lord Krishna is often depicted as Shrinathji in Pichwais, which is the deity manifest as a seven-year-old child. Other common subjects found in pichwai paintings are Radha, gopis, cows and lotuses. Festivals and celebrations such as Sharad Purnima, Raas Leela, Annakoot or Govardhan Puja, Janmashtami, Gopashtami, Nand Mahotsav, Diwali and Holi are frequently depicted in Pichwais.
