Description
The painting features a continuous narrative that documents the union of Krishna, the eighth avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu who is worshipped as a deity in his own right, and Radha, his consort. Radha appears four times in the upper register: looking into a mirror as she prepares to meet Krishna, standing at the entrance to a palatial terrace, sitting with Krishna at the edge of the daybed, and leaning against a large bolster. In the middle of the painting, the couple is depicted in amorous embrace. Rajput Style, Mewar School .
