Summary

This sensuous depiction is from the Balagopalastuti manuscript, a poetic text in praise of Krishna. This blueskinned god of compassion and love is one of the most revered Hindu deities. Lord Krishna embraces Radha, his beloved lover, looking at her amorously. Enhanced by this illustration, the texts on both sides of this folio paint vivid images of Krishna.
