Temple Hanging (Pichvai) Depicting Krishna with Gopis, c1800. Creator: Unknown

Temple Hanging (Pichvai) Depicting Krishna with Gopis, c1800. The Hindu god Krishna plays his flute, mesmerizing every being that surrounds him. Trees bear fruit and flower, birds gather to hear the divine music, and gopis--the cowherding women of Vrindavan, where Krishna lives--adore him by waving flywhisks and fans. Some of the gopis also carry vessels filled with food and drink, for offering pleasing refreshments to the lord is an important part of the loving service ("seva") that devotees provide. Along the bottom of the painting, residents of Vrindavan (both human and bovine) go about daily life near the banks of the Yamuna River, some stopping at shrines to Krishna, where they offer him praise. In the sky above, divine couples ride in heavenly chariots led by birds
