Kishangarh, Rajasthan, c. 1770 C.K. Kanoria collection, Calcutta
During the eighteenth century, Radha was often regarded as Krishna's permanent consort and was accorded divine honours--the present picture ill.u.s.trating her final apotheosis. Seated together, their heads surrounded by haloes, the two lovers display their courtly charms. Krishna has now the mannered luxury of a high-born prince and Radha, no longer the simple cowgirl, is the very embodiment of aristocratic loveliness. As the lovers sit together, their forms offset by a carpet of lotus petals, Krishna attempts to put betel-nut in Radha's mouth--the gesture subtly indicating their loving intimacy.
