The word means \"that which hangs at the back.\" Its subjects come from the life of Krishna in Vrindavan, and the cow recurs throughout: Krishna was raised among cowherds, and in pichwai the cows are figures of devotion rather than decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design here is printed onto the fabric rather than hand-painted, but the motifs carry a meaning a general floral print does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen and the Vrindavan story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all the colours a pichwai print can sit on, green is the closest to the story itself. Vrindavan is a forest — the cows in these paintings are grazing cattle, and pichwai artists have always worked green into the groves and pastures behind them. A green ground puts the cows back in their landscape rather than isolating them on a plain colour. Sea green in particular is a soft, cool green rather than a deep bottle or emerald, which keeps the suit light enough for daytime wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chanderi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanderi is a fine, lightweight fabric with a slight translucency and a soft, subtle sheen — light passes through it in a way heavier fabrics do not. It is comfortable in warm weather, drapes softly rather than holding a stiff shape, and takes a print cleanly, which is what makes it suitable for detailed motif work. The bottom is santoon, a soft, smooth fabric that gives the stitched salwar or trouser an easy fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe devotional origin of the print makes this a natural choice for a Gurudwara Sahib visit, a path or kirtan, a temple visit, a puja at home, or Janmashtami — the festival that celebrates Krishna's birth, where the imagery is especially apt. It works equally as a light daytime suit for a family lunch, an office day or a kitty party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStitching this suit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suit is supplied unstitched, so the neckline, sleeve length and fit are yours to decide. It can be stitched up to size 5XL. Chanderi is slightly sheer, so a lining is worth discussing with your tailor. With a motif print, also decide before cutting where you want the cows to fall on the shirt — a placement print rewards a little planning. StudioJazz offers a stitching service; share what you have in mind and we will discuss it with you. Unstitched orders are dispatched within 48 working hours; stitched orders take 7 to 15 working days depending on the work involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry clean only. Chanderi is a fine fabric and the print is best protected from direct sunlight, so dry and store in shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDispatched within 48 working hours of order confirmation and delivered across India in 3 to 7 business days.
