The present pichvai represents a favored subject in Rajput painting, Sandhya Aarti, or the hour of cow dust, as the gopas return with their herds in the evening. The present painting depicts Krishna, his brother Balarama, and about a dozen cowherds with their cattle making their long awaited return home for the day. The gopis are depicted high in the hills, anxiously anticipating their time with Krishna. The center of the painting is left unpainted, reserved for an image of Shrinathji or a related Pushtimarg swarup. While it is practical for the function of such hangings, the feature is quite unusual.
