There’s something so serene about a pooja room:

  • It’s where you get a cleansed energy by the ringing of the pooja bell to start your day

Since it is your sacred space, it deserves to be designed with thoughtful intention.

From the lens of a designer, what is a Pichwai wallpaper?

It’s a wallpaper design that stands for a belief rooted in culture, devotion, and a timeless Indian aesthetics. Inspired by Pichwai painting, it originally comes from Nathdwara, Rajasthan. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice how it primarily depicts lord Krishna’s stories. Motifs of peacocks, cows, and lotuses can be spotted, which enhances the calming appeal.

“What are the key design principles to consider when choosing Pichwai wallpaper for a pooja room?”

After designing 100+ designs, I have curated a checklist that will assist you in finding the right pichwai wallpaper for your pooja room.

✅ Kamdhenu should be along with a calf according to Vastu:

It is well-known for depicting a nurturing energy, divine protection, and abundance. When your pichwai wallpaper has Kamdhenu accompanied by a calf, you’re all set with a religious and Vastu-rooted backdrop.

✅ Does your decor complement a cool colour palette?

Your pooja room is where you practice your rituals, meditate, and reflect; it should radiate with tranquility. When you go with Pichwai, it is primarily associated with a cold tone palette. If you’re wondering why that is so, it is because Pichwai is deeply linked to Bhagwan Krishna. As he is often depicted in a cool colour palette, you’ll find Pichwai designs in a similar tone.

That’s why it’s important to ensure that your Pichwai wallpaper complements your existing decor beforehand.

✅ Do you have Indian traditional motifs in your Pichwai wall?

The thorough, intricate designs have single-handedly brought the whole Pichwai wallpaper together. Indian traditional motifs have a long history and are part of our great art heritage. It’s what makes a Pichwai stand out amongst the crowd.

✅ Let Pichwai wallpaper shine:

A major draw for Pichwai wallpaper is that it’s a stand-alone player. It’s so intrinsic and visually appealing that it can create a dramatic impact, just as an accent wall. So, even if you’re just thinking of wallpapering the back of the idol-you’re all set for a dramatic setup.
