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.

Hindi Translation:
भगवान विठ्ठल के नामों की मधुर सुरिली ध्वनि न केवल व्यक्तियों के
शरीरों से उठती है,
पर उनकी आत्माओं की गहराई से भी प्रकट होती है।
English Translation:
The melodic resonance of the names of Lord Vitthala
not only emanates from the physical bodies of individuals
but also emerges from the depths of their souls.
