The relationship of Radha and Krishna is the embodiment of love, passion and devotion. Radha's passion for Krishna symbolizes the soul's intense longing and willingness for the ultimate unification with God.
While there are much earlier references to the worship of this form of God, it is since Jayadeva Goswami wrote a famous poem “Gita Govinda” in the twelfth century of the Common Era, that the topic of the spiritual love affair between the divine Krishna and his devotee Radha, became a theme celebrated throughout India.
The painting captures the image of Krishna playing his flute under a tree, and Radha sitting beside him, admiring his music.
