Did you know?

Based on mythology, Radha, Krishna’s beloved lady-love used to hang on to her freshly plastered cow dung walls by using coloured stones, metal foils and flowers, to draw Krishna’s attention. Seeing Radha do this, other Gopi’s in Vrindavan began painting walls with Sanjhi art to attract Krishna. ‘Sanjhi’ is derived from words like “Sajja”, “Shringar” and “Sajavat” which all mean decoration.

Here is a special pick for you, a traditional Sanjhi Painting of India.
