Floral Pichwai - I

A pichvai of the flowering season, rendered against a olive ground that lets every bloom announce itself. Twin doves rest on a gnarled branch stump at the composition's heart, encircled by cascading pink peonies, delicate white blossom sprays, and iris unfurling at the base among rolling green mounds. Butterflies drift through gilded cloud-scrolls above, a motif drawn from the Pushti Marg tradition of picturing nature in its most abundant, celebratory register. The red and gold border frames the scene the way a temple doorway frames its deity, restrained yet unmistakably ceremonial. A quietly opulent addition to a wall that wants colour without noise.
