This scholarly volume explores the rich visual and devotional culture of the Pushtimarg, a Hindu sect founded in the fifteenth century. Through an examination of pichhvais—large, intricate cloth hangings—the text illuminates the intersection of artistic production and religious practice within the Shrinathji temple complex in Nathdwara. The work provides a comprehensive analysis of the iconography, patronage, and ritual significance that define this enduring tradition.
