Pichwai Painting is famous in Rajasthan. Pichwai is a traditional style of painting from Rajasthan and usually depicts Lord Krishna and related stories. The paintings are made on the cloth and are used as a backdrop to the idol in the temple. They show various moods of Krishna and are executed in the miniature style.
