In Nathdwara, the 'shringar' of Lord Shrinathji is changed according to the time of day, different seasons and different festivals. The deity is decorated in a specific manner for each event. This painting depicts eighty six different figures surrounding the central Shrinathji deity, of which eighty four show different forms or swaroops of Shrinathji. The two at the bottom left and bottom right depict the gosai, or the head priests, who imparted learnings of the Pushtimarg sect.
