pichwai Kamdhenu
Lord Krishna’s beloved divine cow Kamadhenu surrounded by lotus flowers
This spiritually symbolic painting celebrating Shrinathji’s divine presence portrays the divine cow Kamadhenu surrounded by lotus flowers.The orange handprint on Lord Krishna’s beloved cows symbolise a blessing or mark of protection from the lord. These handprints along with the colour on the legs, head and hump of the cow are often made with turmeric, vermillion, or henna as part of decorative rituals during festivals. A pichwai painting is almost incomplete without the lotus. Spiritually significant as a beautiful flower that blooms in muddy waters it symbolises the ability of the soul to remain untainted by the impurities of the physical world.
