The Morakuti pichhvais are used in the temple at Nathdwara and elsewhere during the monsoon season. Morakuti is a small village in Braj near Barsana, in modern day Uttar Pradesh, the legendary home and birth place of Radha - Krishna's consort. The Morakuti pichhvai is filled with dancing peacocks. It is associated with the rainy season because at the first clap of thunder, the peacock spreads his magnificent tail feathers for the courting dance – his shrill cry and handsome feather display attracts the peahen.

In Jain cosmology the universe is divided into three worlds: the upper, occupied by the celestials Gods; the middle, by mortals, including all sentient beings; and the lower, belonging to the damned and the disorderly. The most important among the three is the middle world, manushyaloka, or the world of the mortals. It is the place where liberation from the chain of rebirth is possible and where the Jinas are born. Paintings of this world therefore have been popular with the devout. The world is pictured as a diagram of concentric forms. The narrow pale blue circles and the lilac stream like confgurations represent water and the buff ring areas the landmasses. The central yellow circle depicts the continent of the wood-apple tree, or Jambudvipa, which includes the Indian subcontinent and has the cosmic Mount Meru in its centre. The inner continent is encircled by two oceans and two further continents. The outer yellow circle represents the third and outermost continent. Both the oceans are populated with fsh, the frst ocean known as Lavanasamudra (sea of salt). The next ocean, known as Kalodadhi (black sea). At each corner of the map are four pavilions that contain the celestial dwellings of the principle Jinas saints.
