Dec 09, USA (SUN) — This month-long series explores text and manuscript illustrations from Gita-Govinda
We are now nearing the end of the Gita-Govinda's emotionally surcharged story of Radha and Krsna's lila pastimes. The focus shifts from their divine expressions of love in separation to their preparations for the inevitable reunion.
Krsna is seen preparing for Radha's arrival, as he arranges soft beds of boughs and creepers for her in the bower. Radha is shot with the arrows of love and makes her way, finally, to Krsna's side.
Kamadeva shoots arrows of love at Radha
Krsna arranges a bed for Radha
Radha calls out to Megha (clouds)
Krsna arranges a bed of leaves
Radha looks anxiously at her beloved
Radha enters the blossom encrusted, creeper adorned abode of love
Sri Krsna goes down on his knees to his beloved Radha
Sri Krsna swoons in happiness
