History and Culture

Pichhwai – The Spectacular Art Form of Nathdwara

Nathdwara – The Gateway to Shrinathji houses an intricate art form practiced from last several decades. Picchwai was originated with a purpose of, other than artistic appeal, narrating tales of Krishna to the illiterate. The art form is basically an intricate painting that depicts the theatrical life of Krishna’s life which is called his ‘Leela’.

Source: Pikbee

The word Picchwai has its roots from the Sanskrit word ‘pich’ which means behind and ‘vai’ which means textile hanging. And that is why it is typically hung behind the sanctum of his own manifestation, Shrinathji. In ancient times, it was often used to create a devotional atmosphere for the daily ‘Shringaar’ – the special adornment of the deity. It was when artists, out of devotion, started making backdrops to depict Lord Shrinathji in different moods, settings and seasons.

Process of making Pichhwai

A rough sketch is prepared by the artist on a starched cloth first and later it is filled with colors. The traditional Pichhwai paintings were made up from natural colors and brushes made from hairs of a horse, goat or squirrel but with time, faster and less expensive material replaced them. Few paintings are still available which are made up of natural colors. Some paintings also demand the use of pure gold which adds to their value and charm. The process of preparing the color from pure gold takes around 3-4 days.

Apart from that, Picchwai painting for the temple backdrop can take up to 2-3 months to prepare. These huge Pichwais are commissioned by the wealthy people of around the country while for the common man, a smaller version of these paintings are available which they can take for the shrine at their home.

Most of the Picchwai artists reside in the Chitron ki Gali or Chitrakaron ka Mohalla in Nathdwara who makes a close community with constant interaction. Currently, there are only 10-12 original Pichhwai artists in Nathdwara which includes people like Narottam Narayan Sharma and BG Sharma. Most of these artists also paint the newer form which is in demand.

Some renowned Pichhwai artists from Nathdwara are –

Narottam Narayan Sharma

Narayan Sharma is widely known for his images of Lord Krishna which earned him fame in the entire North Indian region. His work was even more influential than the works of Raja Ravi Varma. Several of his paintings were published as posters by S.S Brijbasi, a firm based in Karachi, using chromolithography and were printed in Germany. His painting ‘Murli Manohar’ became the best-selling image in the history of the industry. His other famous paintings involved Shree Satyanarain, Kailash Pati Shankar, depictions of Maharana Pratap and Shivaji, and images of the independence struggle including portraits of Gandhi and Nehru, Gandhiji ki swargyatra (Gandhi’s ascent to heaven) etc. Narottam Narayan Sharma was initially trained at Udaipur.

He has been awarded various awards including India’s National Art Award for Master Craftsman. A collection of Sharma’s artwork was also published in September 2000 titled Form of Beauty: The Krishna Art of B.G.Sharma.

 

The Three Generations of Picchwai Artists

Source: theartistofnathdwara

The family has been aligned to Nathdwara Picchwai Art since ancient times. It is said that the ancestors of the family have been descended to Nathdwara with the arising of Shrinathji in town. The current artist of the Sharma family is Mr. Parmanand Sharma preceded by Devkrishna Sharma and Kanhaiyalal Sharma. The family is known for their miniature Picchwai painting. His work has been researched by the American scholar Tryna Lyons which has been narrated in his book ‘The Artists of Nathdwara’.

Apart from Picchwai, these artists also paint the idol of Shrinathji in the temple which people can take back to their homes. Since photography is not allowed in the temple, these paintings help the devotees to pray to Lord Shrinathji whenever they want.

The temple has a very interesting story behind it. Legend says that the shrine here was built in 17th Century at the place exactly instructed by Shrinathji himself. How you ask? Well, back then, the idol of Shrinathji was being transferred from Vrindaban in order to protect it from the then Mughal ruler, Aurangzeb. He wanted the deity to reside with him back in Agra, according to sectarian literature. When the idol reached a spot in the village Sinhad, the wheels of the bullock cart got stuck in the mud so hard that it couldn’t move a single inch. It’s then when the priests realized that Shrinathji has chosen the place himself for the temple. The timings of the temple are 5:30 am to 6:30 pm and the entry is free of cost.

श्रीनाथजी के दाढ़ी में लगे हीरे के पीछे की दिलचस्प कहानी

नाथद्वारा, श्रीनाथ जी के मंदिर की वजह से पुरे विश्वभर में अपनी एक अलग छवि रखता है। हर साल लाखो-करोड़ो लोग श्रीनाथ जी के दर्शन हेतु नाथद्वारा आते है। दर्शन के दौरान श्रद्धालु श्रीनाथ जी की दाढ़ी में लगे हीरे को भी देखना पसंद करते है। लेकिन उस हीरे के दाढ़ी में होने के पीछे की क्या कहानी है? shreenathji

हम बताते है…

नाथद्वारा में हर साल धुलंडी पर एक सवारी निकलती है, नाम बहुत दिलचस्प है ‘बादशाह की सवारी’। यह सवारी नाथद्वारा के गुर्जरपुरा मोहल्ले के बादशाह गली से निकलती है। यह एक प्राचीन परंपरा है जिसमें एक व्यक्ति को नकली दाढ़ी-मूंछ, मुग़ल पोशाक और आँखों में काजल डालकर दोनों हाथो में श्रीनाथ जी की छवि देकर उसे पालकी में बैठाया जाता है। इस सवारी की अगवानी मंदिर मंडल का बैंड बांसुरी बजाते हुए करता है।

यह सवारी गुर्जरपुरा से होते हुए बड़ा बाज़ार से आगे निकलती है तब बृजवासी सवारी पर बैठे बादशाह को गलियां देते है। सवारी मंदिर की परिक्रमा लगाकर श्रीनाथ जी के मंदिर पंहुचती है, जहां वह बादशाह अपनी दाढ़ी से सूरजपोल की सीढियाँ साफ़ करता है जो कि लम्बे समय से चली आ रही एक प्रथा है। उसके बाद मंदिर के विभाग-प्रमुख बादशाह को पैरावणी भेंट करते है। इसके बाद फिर से गालियों का दौर शुरू होता है, मंदिर में मौजूद लोग बादशाह को खरी-खोटी सुनते है और रसिया गान शुरू होता है। तब आसपास का माहोल ऐसा हो जाता है मानो मथुरा-वृन्दावन में होली खेल रहे हो।

इस सब के पीछे की वजह –

नाथद्वारा में मान्यता है कि जब औरंगजेब श्रीनाथ जी की मूर्ति को खंडित करने मंदिर में आया था तो मंदिर में पंहुचते ही अँधा हो गया था। तब उसने अपनी दाढ़ी से मंदिर की सीढियाँ साफ़ करते हुए श्रीनाथ जी से विनती की और वह ठीक हो गया। उसके बाद औरंगजेब ने बेशकीमती हीरा मंदिर को भेंट किया जिसे हम आज श्रीनाथ जी के दाढ़ी में लगा देखते है।

बस इसी घटना को हर साल धुलंडी पर ‘बादशाह की सवारी’ निकालकर याद किया जाता है। यह सवारी नाथद्वारा के अलावा ब्यावर, पली और अजमेर में भी निकली जाती है।

नित्यं श्रीमथुराधिंप सुखकरं श्रीविट्ठलेश मुदा ।
श्रीमद्वारवतीश गोकुलपति श्रीगोकुलेन्दुं विभुम्‌,
श्रीमन्मन्मथ मोहनं नटवरं श्रीबालकृष्णं भजे ॥

आचार्य चरण, प्रभुचरण सहित सप्त आचार्य वर्णन-
श्रीमद्वल्लभविट्ठलौ गिरिधरं गोविंदरायाभिधम्‌,
श्रीमद् बालकृष्ण गोकुलपतिनाथ रघूणां तथा

श्रीजी को धराये गए छप्पन भोग, दर्शन… (साभार: श्यामा स्टूडियो)
नवनीतप्रिय जी (लालन प्रभु) दर्शन… (साभार: श्यामा स्टूडियो)

अखिल भारतीय पुष्टिमार्गीय वैष्णव संप्रदाय की प्रधान पीठ श्री नाथद्वारा में  आगामी तीन दिनों तक विशेष मनोरथ का आगाज़ आज से होगा. तिलकायत महाराज श्री विशाल बावा के जन्मोत्सव के उपलक्ष्य में ये मनोरथ आयोजित किया जा रहा है| श्रीनाथ मंदिर मंडल से udaipurblog.com को मिली जानकारी के अनुसार पहले दिन आज श्रीजी को छप्पन भोग धराया जायेगा | छप्पन भोग पर श्रीजी को विशेष श्रृंगार और राजभोग दर्शन में अनूठा वागा (वस्त्र) धारण करवा कर लाड लड़ाए जायेंगे. श्रीनाथजी के सभी दर्शन पूर्व नियोजित कार्यक्रम अनुसार ही होंगे. छप्पन भोग के लिए श्रीनाथजी की रसोई में विशेष तैयारियों के साथ पकवान बनाये जा रहे हैं किन्तु उसकी जानकारी गोपनीय रखी गयी है. तर्क दिया जाता है कि श्रीजी का स्वरुप बाल कृष्ण स्वरुप है और किसी बालक को खिलाये जाने वाले भोजन की जानकारी यदि माता किसी को दे तो बालक को “नज़र” लगने का भय होता है.

मनोरथ के दुसरे दिन लालन नवनीतप्रिया जी मंदिरजी से टाटोल गौशाला विहार हेतु पधारेंगे. तीसरे दिन वहीँ लालन को सोने के बंगले की झांकी का मनोरथ होगा. लालन को सोने के बंगले में विराजित करवाया जायेगा. दो दिवस तक लालन श्रीजी के गौओं के बीच विहार करेंगे. टाटोल गौशाला आने जाने के लिए मंदिर मंडल की ओर से बस स्टेंड, नाथद्वारा से सीधी निशुल्क बस सेवा उपलब्ध होगी.

मंदिरजी पर तिलकायत के जन्मोत्सव पर विशेष पंचरंगी ध्वजा चढ़ाई जाएगी. अनूठे श्रृंगार के बीच पुष्प चढ़कर लड़ लड़ाए जायेंगे. लालन को झुला झुलाया जायेगा. तीन दिवस तक श्रीजी के भी विशेष दर्शन होंगे. सप्त दर्शन समय यथावत रहेंगे. मंगला प्रातः 5 – 5.15AM बजे, श्रृंगार 7 – 7.15AM  बजे, ग्वाल 8.30 – 8.40AM , राजभोग 11.40-12.15 PM, उत्थापन दर्शन सायं 3.45- 4.00PM बजे, भोग 5- 5.05PM , आरती 6.00-6.15 PM  शयन (गुप्त) दर्शनों का समय रहेगा.
आगामी तीन दिनों तक वैष्णव नगरी पूर्ण रूप से श्रीजी के मनोरथ रंग में रंगी नज़र आएगी.

प्रथम दर्शन: मंगला
द्वितीय दर्शन: श्रृंगार
तृतीय दर्शन: ग्वाल
चतुर्थ दर्शन: राजभोग
पंचम दर्शन: उत्थापन
सायंकालीन दर्शन: भोग
आरती दर्शन

उल्लेखनीय है कि पुष्टि मार्ग में भगवान कृष्ण के उस स्वरूप की आराधना की जाती है जिसमें उन्होंने बाएँ हाथ से गोवर्धन पर्वत उठा रखा है और उनका दायाँ हाथ कमर पर है।
श्रीनाथ जी का बायाँ हाथ 1410 में गोवर्धन पर्वत पर प्रकट हुआ। उनका मुख तब प्रकट हुआ जब श्री वल्लभाचार्यजी का जन्म 1479 में हुआ। अर्थात्‌ कमल के समान मुख का प्राकट्य हुआ।
1493 में श्रीवल्लभाचार्य को अर्धरात्रि में भगवान श्रीनाथ जी के दर्शन हुए।साधू पांडे जो गोवर्धन पर्वत की तलहटी में रहते थे उनकी एक गाय थी। एक दिन गाय ने श्रीनाथ जी को दूध चढ़ाया। शाम को दुहने पर दूध न मिला तो दूसरे दिन साधू पांडे गाय के पीछे गया और पर्वत पर श्रीनाथजी के दर्शन पाकर धन्य हो गया। दूसरी सुबह सब लोग पर्वत पर गए तो देखा कि वहाँ दैवीय बालक भाग रहा था। वल्लभाचार्य को उन्होंने आदेश दिया कि मुझे एक स्थल पर विराजित कर नित्य प्रति मेरी सेवा करो। तभी से श्रीनाथ जी की सेवा मानव दिनचर्या के अनुरूप की जाती है। इसलिए इनके मंगला, श्रृंगार, ग्वाल, राजभोग, उत्थापन, आरती, भोग, शयन के दर्शन होते हैं। कालांतर में मुस्लिम आतातियों के निरंतर आक्रमणों और मीरा बाई को दिए वचन के चलते श्रीजी मेवाड़ पधारे और पहले घसियार और बाद में श्रीनाथद्वारा में पधारे. तभी से श्रीनाथद्वारा वैष्णवों का प्रमुख तीर्थ स्थल है.
