Sapta Swarupa Annakutotsva

A pichwai depicting the festival/ritual of Sapta Swarupa Annakutotsva with Shrinathji and his sapta swarupa (seven forms) set upon an altar at the centre – flanked by panels that depict the tree of life, and attended upon by Gossainjis (priests) and female worshippers (above a smaller triptic alter). A huge mound of rice and curd representing the mount Govardhan along with baskets filled with various types of food and sweets are piled in front of the deity. The entire scene is set within a roofed pavilion, with images of deities in golden chariots flying in the sky above it and finally bordered by bands of individual depictions of Shrinathji's various swaroops. A fragile piece, with the outer floral border and bottom register lost now.
