Vintage “Makhan Churi (New)” Bal Krishna Print – Framed Indian Devotional Art

A beautiful vintage devotional print titled “Makhan Churi (New)”, depicting the ever-popular childhood episode of Bal Krishna stealing butter. This lively and engaging composition captures young Krishna standing above his companions as they help him reach a suspended butter pot, while one companion receives the butter below and others watch the playful act unfold.

The scene is set inside a traditional courtyard-like interior with pillars, arches and hanging pots, giving the artwork a strong old-world Indian character. The composition is full of movement and storytelling, with broken earthen pots, scattered butter and expressive figures bringing the mischievous spirit of Krishna’s childhood to life.

The lower margin retains the original printed title:

“Makhan Churi (New)”

along with the corresponding Hindi title “माखन चोरी” and the printed number 225, which adds to the vintage and collectible appeal of the piece.

The artwork is presented in an old black wooden frame with a gold-tone inner lining, and the naturally aged paper surface enhances its authentic period charm. The warm palette of greys, ochres, oranges and earthy interior tones makes it a highly decorative and devotional wall piece.
