Pichwai for Morakuti

Pichwai for Morakuti with undecorated borders depicting a scene of dancing peacocks: the foreground features thirty birds, with six of the males fanning their feathers for clusters of peahens on the riverbank, while the background is painted with rows of plantains and other flowering and fruiting trees.

Morakuti pichwais depicting peacocks with crested crowns dancing are used as backdrop decoration to the Shrinathji idol during the varsha ritu (monsoon season); and named after a small village in Vraja, near the birth place of Radha, symbolically recalling Krishna dancing for Radha, mimicking a peacock.
