[Original caption] A love scene between Radha and her consort Lord Krishna. [end]
Lord Krishna spent his earlier life in Vrindavan where the Gopis or cow-herd girls offered him company. Radha was considered the chief gopi. According to Vaishnava tradition, Radha, also called Radharani, was born in Rawal or Varshana, a village almost 8 kilometers from Vrindavan. In Hindu mythology, Radha's love for Krishna is considered a legendary act.
This postcard by the Ravi Varma Press was based on one of the painter's most famous paintings. |
