Pichwai is an art-form that originated in the Nathdwara region of the royal state of Rajasthan, at least 400 years ago. Located on the banks of the river Banas overlooking the Arawalis, this sleepy old town is known for its 17th Century Srinathji Temple, which is an abode of Lord Krishna, dedicated to his 7-year-old form. The word Pichwai originates from the Sanskrit words pich (behind) and wai (hanging).
