Pichwai paintings depict the life of Lord Krishna and his festivals such as Janmashtami, Sharad Purnima, Raas Leela, and Diwali, among others. The defining characteristic of Pichwai art is the distinct style for portraying human figures. They have pointed noses, big eyes, and a substantial physique. Lord Krishna occupies the center in most paintings, while the other motifs radiate around him.
