On the first floor of her boutique is a Pichwai painting gallery.

Benu’s son Shan Bhatnagar is a Pichwai painter. This kind of painting is unique to Rajasthan. You may be tempted to pick up a beautiful piece for your home when you visit the gallery.

Pichhwai are intricate paintings which portray Lord Krishna. They exist in the holy town of Nathdwara in the Rajasthan state of India.

Krishna is shown in different moods, body postures, and attire more commonly found on a cloth or paper. It is a very ancient form of art passed on from generation to generation and it has a very devotional theme towards Lord Krishna.
