In the Pushtimarg sect of Vaishnavism, paintings made as temple records or pilgrimage souvenirs, typically depicting individual devotees with the image of Krishna as the child-god Shrinathji. Since the late 19th–early 20th century, these have been made in the town of Nathdwara in Rajasthan, home to the Shrinathji Temple. Manorath connotes heartfelt desire or wish, referring to spiritual devotion and its culmination in darshan, the reciprocal act of beholding and being blessed by the deity at the shrine. Modelled on the style of pichhwai temple paintings, each image shows specific pilgrims or patrons, often with their families, realistically rendered paying obeisance to the image of Shrinathji. Such paintings initially served as visual accounts of significant events surrounding the temple, such as large donations, commissions or a royal visit; they later became popular among ordinary pilgrims wishing to memorialise their visit to the temple, and also began to incorporate photography.
