You'll love this small but detailed miniature painting of Krishna & Radha which is executed with a fine brush in the Pahari miniature style. It shows the couple gesturing affection towards each other with Radha offering a garland of flowers to Krishna seated on a swing or Jhula.

Pahari painting (literal meaning a painting from the mountainous regions, pahar means a mountain in Hindi) is an umbrella term used for a form of Indian painting, originating from Himalayan Hill kingdoms of North India, during 17th-19th century. It gave birth to a new idiom in Indian painting, and grew out of the Mughal painting, though this was patronized mostly by the Rajput kings who ruled many parts of the region. It was done mostly in miniature forms.

The story behind Krishna & Radha art is inspired by love so powerful that anytime the name Krishna is referred to - it is incomplete without the exaltation of the name Radha. And so for centuries, this one spectacular love theme has inspired painters, poets, musicians and other artists.
