Gopashtami is a heartfelt celebration of the sacred cow, an integral symbol in Pichwai art. This festival marks the day Krishna became a Gauwala or cowherd, emphasizing the deep bond between him and the sacred cattle.
On Gopashtami, devotees honor cows through rituals of feeding, bathing, and decorating them. Pichwai art depicting this festival typically features Krishna surrounded by a multitude of cows, each looking at him in reverence. The scene is often enriched with gopis and gwalas, while the bottom of the canvas is adorned with swans and lotuses, creating a serene and divine atmosphere.

Meet Bhawani Shankar, a master artist who began his journey as a miniature artist before transitioning to Pichwai art in his early years. Initially crafting brushes from squirrel hair, he now uses synthetic ones due to bans. His first painting, sold for 2 rupees in the fifth grade, marked the start of his artistic path. He continues to create masterpieces that honor the past and captivate the present. His work includes the breathtaking Gopasthami painting, featuring Shrinath Ji surrounded by cows, and 24 swaroops that celebrate seasonal events and festivals like Janamasthami and Ekadashi.
