Amidst the lush green grasslands with the sprouted colourful flowers and peacock, stand Lord Krishna with his beloved Radha embracing their divine love. The painter has chosen for a perfect time of sunset when everything is at peace and the nature itself is engrossed in calming and rejuvenating its beauty. Having this thought in mind, the painter has amazingly stroked the orange-red sky with the bright rays of the sun slowly and steadily hiding behind the clouds to set. Its faded reflection is also visible on the hills behind and the cold water ripples comforted with the warmth of the rays.

The divinities stand close to each other with Krishna’s left hand visible on Radha’s left shoulder from behind symbolizing his care for his beloved. Krishna in his characteristic blue hue is garbed in a pitambara dhoti along with bright combinations of pink and purple, while the fair plumage of Radha is further enhanced by a purple and orange designer lehenga decorated with gold zari border and covered with the transparent green chunri. The delicate expression of their eyes and the lovely smile on their lips expresses the love, comfort and admiration of being together forever.

The astonishing aspect of this Radha-Krishna watercolour art is that it is embossed with 24 karat gold all along the border, designed in floral patterns with tinges of pink and green. Similar gold plated jewels and beads embellished on their body are symbolic of their luxury and an aura of divinity. Krishna’s holy cow, Surabhi stands behind them having just the face and a bit of frontal body visible, treasured in rich gold jewels and a peacock feather at the top, similar to what Krishna has on his royal crown. The bright white-yellow aureole glorified behind the divine’s heads is a reflection of their enlightened souls, which the painter has gracefully highlighted with a green leafy border.

The eternal love bond of Radha and Krishna flourishes beautifully in this perfectly calm and soothing beauty of nature, which eventually will also charm your room surroundings when hung on a plain wall.
