Vithhal or Vithoba is a form of the god Vishnu, or his avatar Krishna. Vithoba is often depicted as a dark young boy, standing arms akimbo on a brick. Just as Varkari Sampraday and our beloved Vithoba are inseparable, this portrait beautifully features both. The artwork is developed by our artist Vaishnavi Naik.
