Black and White Madhubani Painting of Krishna and Radha, "Krishna's Song II"

Seated in the riverbank, Krishna plays his flute to the delight of the herdswomen. Yet he has eyes only for Radha. Krishna is the Godhead of Hinduism. Radha was the most beloved of his consorts and his constant companion. Her love for Krishna represents a celestial, spiritual love. Working in the traditional Madhubani style, Devendra Kumar Jha and Family depict the scene in black and white.

Originating in northern Bihar, India, Madhubani painting was once used to decorate the floors and walls of homes. Life in harmony with nature is a popular theme for this art style.

As each painting is an individual creation, each is unique and may vary slightly from that pictured.
