Par Painting - Krishna

Ras: colourful painting on canvas of Krishna dancing with the Gopis. Size: 24 inches x 30 inches. These paintings were originally as long as or longer than a room and were gradually unfolded to illustrate the tales of the itinerant story tellers in India. Singer-priests (bhopos) of Pabuji perform a liturgical epic telling of the life, death and avenging of their hero-god. These performances take place at night, typically in front of a par, a long narrative cloth-painting simultaneously depicting the events of the story and serving as a portable temple to the deity. With the coming of television and other mass media, the story tellers are gradually disappearing but thanks to your purchase of smaller versions of the paintings, the art form goes on. For information about the main subject of Par paintings see: http://bombay.oriental.cam.ac.uk/john/pabuji/statement.html for the subject of these traditional paintings on canvas.
