Description
Shrinathji with Cows in Forest presents the deity as the serene centre of a moonlit pastoral world. Standing on a lotus pedestal, Shrinathji is adorned in rich textiles, pearl ornaments, and a gilded crown that glows against his midnight-blue form. He is surrounded by cows of varying sizes and postures, each rendered with meticulous detail—ears tilted, tails lifted, and bodies marked with sacred motifs. Lush trees, a moonlit sky dotted with stars, and subtle divine carriers floating above create a layered devotional landscape.
The lower portion of the composition transitions into a water-filled border featuring lotus blooms, cranes, fish, and peacocks, echoing the abundance associated with Govardhan Nath. Painted on cloth using mineral colours, gold, and fabric pigments, the artwork carries a traditional luminosity balanced with calm greens and deep night blues. The overall mood is both celebratory and tranquil, embodying the sacred relationship between Shrinathji and his herd. The piece brings ritual grace and immersive detail into any thoughtfully curated space.
