Krishna Playing Flute to Radha is a charming watercolour by Jiten Pal. Radha Krishna stories are one of the most highly retold stories in Hinduism in narrative form, in poetry as well as in Bhakti sangeet. From small children to elderly men, the antics of Krishna and the way Radha chides on him brings about awe. It is said that Radha is considered as the supreme goddess in Vaishnavism as Krishna enchants the entire world but only Radha can enchant even Krishna and bind him with her love. Radha is actually a devotee of Krishna who was given an exalted status of Krishna's consort, but it is also believed that Radha is an incarnation of goddess Lakshmi.This is a romantic interpretation set in a forest with trees and created as a scion cultural sentiment of perfection and beauty. Radha with pot wearing a sari is a statement in delicacy and grace.

Krishna in most of his depictions is seen hand in hand with his flute and his beloved Radha. Radha's undying love for Krishna is often interpreted as the ultimate quest of a mortal to unite with the divine. During Krishna's stay in Vrindavan, Radha, daughter of Vrishabhanu, becomes his beloved friend, adviser and consort. Radha is perceived here as friend as consort and companion.

Provenance: Collection of Gentleman.
