Night Calm Wall Art

Night Calm — 2 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Sharad Purnima, the autumn full-moon night, is the great raas-lila festival — the night Krishna danced the raas with the gopis of Braj, multiplying himself so each had him beside her. A pichhwai (literally 'that which hangs at the back') is the painted cloth hung behind the Shrinathji deity to set the festival scene; the Sharad raas-mandala and the full moon are among its most loved subjects. On Sharad Purnima, the autumn full-moon night, families leave kheer (milk pudding) out under the moon, believing the moonlight blesses and sweetens it — a gentle domestic custom tied to the same full moon as Krishna's raas-lila. A pichhwai (literally 'that which hangs at the back') is the painted cloth hung behind the Shrinathji deity to set the festival scene; this fusion borrows that grammar for the family moon-kheer ritual.
