Twelve cows in Pichwai by Shehzaad Ali Sherani

This stunning Pichwai painting depicts twelve cows adorned with intricate ornaments, with one cow standing out in a striking grey color while the others are in various shades of white. Against a vibrant red background, this painting exudes a sense of energy and vitality. Shri Krishna’s life revolved around cows since his childhood. He spent a huge part of his life as a cowherd, tending to the cows and their calves, taking them grazing to different parts of the village. Cows have also been a symbol of protection and abundance since the Vedic period. Hence, no painting of Shri Krishna is complete without the depiction of cows. They are decorated with an ornately decorated neck piece that holds their bell, along with jewelries on their head and feet. Their humps and feet are covered with henna, a symbol of their domestic nature. The use of henna adds depth and visual interest to the composition. The henna hand prints on the cows reflect the divine touch of Shri Krishna. Symbolizing that these are blessed, as Shri Krishna holds them in his heart. Altogether, this painting is a beautiful amalgamation of spirituality, tradition, and artistic fineness, capturing the serene essence of devotional art. It not only reflects the cultural heritage but also brings a sense of peace and devotion, capturing the revered status of cows in Indian tradition.
