Never before has this subject been treated in such depth the book covers the background of the sect the place of these temple hangings in ritual practice and the vast range of mediums and techniques involved in Pichhwai production from the painted Pichhwais of Nathdwara and North India through the artistic gilded prints of the Deccan and the complex kalamkari dye patterned pieces of the Coromandel coast. Also represented is a rare 17 century commemorative Zardozi Pichhwai and examples of embroidery in silk Pichhwais in brocade tinsel prints and finally machine printed fabrics and lace from foreign shores the range is encompassing. In addition there are miniature paintings on paper on glass and even pasted on wood all of them associated with the Vallabhacharya sect. With each type lavishly illustrated in colour the book is a visual and aesthetic delight. An evocative introduction by Prof. B.N. Goswamy leads on to articles on the two main centres of Pichhwai making by textile scholars Dr. Kalyan Krishna and Kay Talwar. The entries cataloguing the collection and describing each Pichhwai the result of painstaking effort by the TAPI research team constitute a mine of information. A unique feature of the book is a selection of stories translated from early vernacular accounts of the sect by Prof. Karuna Goswamy. In Adoration of Krishna is an invaluable resource for designers art historians and anyone interested in the decorative arts of Indian textiles in the context of the spiritual lives of thousands of people in this part of the world. 228 pp.…
