Visakha Pichwai Lumbar Cushion Cover (16×16 inches)

Embrace the timeless beauty of divine devotion with our Visakha-inspired Pichwai Lumbar Cushion Cover. Crafted with the delicate artistry of hand block printing, this luxurious 12×18 inch cushion is a perfect blend of tradition and elegance, offering a glimpse into the rich spiritual tapestry of Vrindavan.

With vibrant shades of white, pink, and green, the cushion takes inspiration from the legendary gopi Visakha, one of Lord Krishna’s closest and most devoted followers. Known for her unwavering love and selfless devotion to Krishna, Visakha played a key role in the enchanting stories of Vrindavan, serving as a confidante to Radha and a guide in the divine leelas (pastimes) of Lord Krishna. Like Visakha’s deep, unshakeable bond with Krishna, this cushion invites a sense of peace, devotion, and beauty into your home.

The Story of Visakha

Visakha, one of the principal gopis of Vrindavan, is revered for her extraordinary devotion to Lord Krishna and her pure love for Radha. As a trusted confidante of Radha, she was always at the center of the divine pastimes and deeply connected with the soul-stirring tales of Krishna’s love. She is often depicted as compassionate, understanding, and a source of wisdom—an embodiment of sakhya (friendship) and maitri (loving bond) with Krishna.

In the Pichwai tradition, Visakha’s devotion is beautifully symbolized through intricate motifs of nature, divine beings, and flowing grace. Our Visakha-inspired cushion brings this deep, soulful love to life with its delicate design, making it not just a decorative piece, but a tribute to the eternal bond of friendship and love between the gopis and Krishna.

Craftsmanship: The Hand Block Tradition

This cushion is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship, created using the revered Pichwai Wooden Hand Blocks by our master artisan Sumit Bhaiya. Each block is carefully carved and hand-pressed to create the exquisite designs that define Pichwai art. This technique, passed down through generations, ensures that every cushion is a one-of-a-kind creation—no two pieces are identical, adding a touch of authenticity and uniqueness to your home decor.

The cotton-silk blend of 70% cotton and 30% silk provides a smooth yet durable texture, combining the breathability of cotton with the luxurious sheen of silk. It’s a fabric that not only feels soft to the touch but is also made to last, offering a subtle sheen that enhances the beauty of the block prints.
