About the Book
This insightful work explores the rich history and traditions of the Pushti Marg community, shedding light on its foundational philosophy, theology, and artistic expression. The book begins by examining Vallabhacharya's philosophy and theology of Shrinathji (a form of Krishna), revealing how these beliefs were transformed into organized religious practices and rituals.
Focusing on sacred art, the book explores the creation of religious objects such as paintings, pichvais, and shrine textiles. These artworks, deeply intertwined with the faith's rituals, not only served devotional purposes but also reflect the community's spiritual and cultural identity. Several rare examples of these sacred objects, including the Golden and Kalamkari pichvais and the Palam Dispersed Bhagavad Puran, are showcased throughout the text.
The book also delves into the lasting social and cultural influences of Pushti Marg, highlighting how the community's artistic and ritualistic traditions have been preserved and passed down through generations, continuing to shape the religious landscape today.
