MAHARASA LEELA
The Rasa Leela is part of the traditional story of Krishna described in Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's whole life is full of Leelas. ButMaha Rasa Leela has influenced people since centuries. On this full moon Krishna played his flute and on hearing the melodious music Gopis ran towards Lord Krishna in the mid night. The Rasa - dance was planned to fulfill his promise which he had made to the Gopis when they did Kaayani Vrata.
The Rasa Leela dance was planned on the banks of Yamuna in Vrindavan where there were many kadamba trees. Rasleela is one ofthe divine activities, which Lord Krishna played with the gopis. Radha was closest to Lord Krishna. Her love for Lord Krishna was complete and in its purest form.
About Pichhwais
Pichhwai paintings (‘Pich’ means back and ‘wais’ means hanging in Sanskrit) are cloth paintings used as a back drop to adorn the idol of Lord Shrinath at the Nathdwara temple in Rajasthan.
Originated 400 years ago, these beautiful images often depict the imagined idyllic surroundings of the mythological Vrindavana forest or the lord himself in beautiful surroundings. Since photographs inside the Nathdwara temple are forbidden, Pichhwais are considered by devotees as the only way to take an image of the God home. Big eyes, broad nose, thick bodies and strong colours that are painted on a characteristic gradient style identify the most representative Pichhwai style.
