Three panels that hang as one composition: Radha and Krishna together on an 18-inch square in the centre, flanked by two tall Pichwai cows on 10 by 18 inch rectangles. The figures are raised in clay relief and set with mirror against a red mirror-work ground - Gujarat's Lippan technique carrying Rajasthan's Pichwai subject.

What Lippan art is

Lippan kaam is the mud-and-mirror relief work of Kutch in Gujarat, made for centuries by Rabari women on the inside walls of their homes: clay worked into raised patterns with the fingers, then set with abhla - small mirrors - so a single oil lamp lights the whole room. What you are buying is that technique on a board, hand-worked in India.

What is in the set

  • Radha Krishna panel - 18 x 18 inches, 1,800 g (approx. 4 lb). Krishna at the flute beside Radha, red mirror-work border
  • Two Pichwai cow panels - 10 x 18 inches each, 1,000 g each (approx. 2.2 lb). One cow per panel, in a jewelled gold saddle cloth on red

All three ship together. The cows are cut to the same 18-inch height as the centre panel, so hung in a row with even gaps the tops and bottoms line up.

Why this one

Most Radha Krishna wall art is a print or a canvas. This is 3,800 g - about 8.4 lb - of clay relief and glass across three boards. The pairing is what makes it: Lippan is a Gujarati technique and Pichwai a Rajasthani subject, and putting the cows beside the couple is the Nathdwara logic that Krishna the cowherd is inseparable from his herd.

Details

  • Three panels: one 18 x 18 inch square, two 10 x 18 inch rectangles
  • Total weight: 3,800 g (approx. 8.4 lb)
  • MDF boards with hand-worked clay relief and glass mirror inlay
  • Hand-made in India
  • Back hook fitted to each panel
  • Sold as a complete set of three

Where it goes

Above a sofa, above a bed, or on the wall facing a front door - it needs about five feet of clear width for the three panels with breathing room between them. It also works split: the Radha Krishna panel above a mandir and the two cows elsewhere in the same room.

Hanging it

Each panel has its own hook. The centre panel at 1,800 g wants a nail into a stud or a rated anchor; the cows at 1,000 g each are more forgiving. Mark the centre panel first and work outward from it. Screws and anchors are not supplied.

Related Lippan

If you want the same subjects as single pieces rather than a set, the Krishna medallion listing sells the Pichwai cow, Krishna flute, dancing feet and Dahihandi designs individually. The 18-inch round panels carry seven deity designs.

Care

Dust with a dry, soft cloth or a soft brush - the raised relief holds dust in the grooves. Do not use water or spray cleaner on the clay work. If you want the mirrors bright, wipe them individually with a barely damp corner of the cloth.

Frequently asked questions

Is the price for all three panels?
Yes. One price, three panels, shipped together.
What is Pichwai?
The devotional painting tradition of Nathdwara in Rajasthan, made as cloth hangings for the Shrinathji shrine. Cows are its constant subject because Krishna there is the cowherd of Vrindavan.
How much wall does it need?
The three panels total 38 inches of art. With sensible gaps allow about five feet of wall.
Can I hang the cows facing each other?
Yes - the two cow panels are mirror images in composition, so they can face inward toward the centre panel or both the same way. Inward is the usual choice.
Are the mirrors real glass?
Yes. Each abhla is a small cut glass mirror set into the clay by hand while it is still workable. They are not printed, and they are not plastic.
Will mine look exactly like the photographs?
Close, not identical. The relief is pressed out by hand and every mirror is placed individually, so spacing and line weight differ slightly from set to set.
Can the clay work chip?
It can if a panel is knocked hard against something, in the same way plasterwork can. In normal use on a wall it does not.
Can it go outdoors or in a bathroom?
No. It is clay relief on an MDF board. Damp softens the clay and swells the board.
What if a panel arrives damaged?
Shipping is insured. Photograph the damage, email contact@urliutsav.com, and we will replace it or make it right.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days in original condition and packaging. Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer, so measure your wall first.
Can I order several?
For hospitality, restaurants, stores or corporate gifting, email contact@urliutsav.com and we will quote you for a bulk order.
