The Shrinathji series takes its inspiration from the lord of Nathdwara. ‘Shri’, another name for Lakshmi, means abundance and all good things. ‘Nath’ means the lord and ‘dwara’ is a door. Worship to Krishna in this form is a celebration of devotion. Our painted collection embodies this spirit of joyously celebration and it represents good fortune that is symbolic of this ‘swaroopa’ of Krishna.

This collection is an amalgamation of the traditional representation of the deity juxtaposed against modern backgrounds inspired by mythology. Here Shrinathji is shown richly draped and adorned with gold and jewels. His eyes lotus shaped and half closed looking down, deep in meditation. The figure is painted in dark blue hues almost like the idol at Nathdwara and the shades of his dress indicate different seasons or festivals.

These paintings are modern and yet traditional. A unique aesthetic developed at Studio Kishangarh in Rajasthan, where miniature painters work under the patronage of the Kishangarh royal family to develop contemporary art using traditional techniques. Studio Kishangarh aims to preserve the Kishangarh style of painting through reinvention to popularise such subjects as well as provides employment and patronage to local miniature painters many of which have had this vocation in their families for generations. We pay a fair wage for their contribution to the products. This livelihood fuels the rural economy in areas where livelihood generation is limited.
