Pichhwai are painted in permanent natural colours that do not fade for years. They are also put to use in printing, embroidary, etc. Depiction of the artist as a devotee expressing his love for God is what makes the Nathdwara style distinct from the rest. Art plays an integral part in the ritualistic darshan of Srinathji. A large cloth painting serves as a backdrop to the idol and is sometimes intricate enough to narrate the various leelas of Lord Krishna as Srinathji.
